Abstract:
A tubular open-ended body member is arranged to be buried in the ground with opposite ends in alignment with the runway of a burrowing animal. One end of the body member has an international flange of reduced size which supports a running noose of line and an elastic carrier for this running noose. A trigger hangs in the body member and is associated with the flange so that when an animal engages the trigger, it will dislodge the elastic band and the running noose from the flange and engage them around the animal's body. The running noose is on a line having an anchor end engagable with the body member to cinch the running noose tightly around the animal, and hold the animal in a trapped position.
