Active hunting with a gun or bow can be a time and energy consuming pursuit that you may not be able to afford when faced with a survival situation. While you may carry a gun and be able to use it, there are a number of reasons why you may not want to rely on hunting with a firearm to secure your proteins. First, you may not have sufficient ammunition to risk using it all on hunting. What if you run out or run low and end up needing to defend yourself? Second, you may not want to attract the attention that a gunshot will most certainly bring. Third, and most importantly in a true survival situation, trapping is much more efficient as you can spend the least amount of energy and get the greatest return.

Live Animal Traps & Bird Traps

Live animal traps are available in a variety of sizes and styles suited to catching different species of animals. Collapsible folding traps are popular for their space-saving design and portability.
 Trapping animals can serve many purposes beyond just catching potential meal. Animals can be trapped for bait, removal from an area, to protect yourself or your supplies, to protect your garden, or to breed for longer-term food supply. Instead of spending precious time and energy stalking game and waiting for that one perfect shot, you can set a few live animal traps and let them do the work for you. Small animals like rabbits are relatively easy to catch and can be raised and bred to keep you and your family supplied with meat.
 Aside from catching an animal for immediate consumption or to start a breeding program, live animal box traps can be used to humanely catch problem animals. From rodents that are after you storage food supply or getting into your garden to larger animals like stray dogs and bobcats that can pose a safety threat to your children or livestock, you can catch and remove many problem animals safely and effectively with a live animal trap.
 Live animal traps also ensure that you only catch the intended animal. If you happen to catch something else (like your curious dog) you can simply free him with no harm done. The same is not true of fatal animal traps.
