Many years ago I set a steel trap in front of a large hole in a ditch bank. I was just a kid, 12 or so years old. And had no clue what I was doing. Next day I found the hole full of dug up dirt that plugged the hole, with the trap chain tight and stretched through the freshly dug up dirt.
I tugged real hard on that trap chain and soon there was a pissed off badger, mouth wide open about six inches from my face. That’ll get your attention.
