Maybe a hinge with a spring in it like for a screen/storm door. It’d be faster than a free fall.

a box made from sticky boards with a taste of fat in the middle , you will catch him. As a professional , nothing beats a well set snapper!

Sorry to say, but that's an artists impression. Here is the actual photo.

new wider smashboard, spikes of death and thinner trigger poles.
Search for ''Mousetrap monday'' on Youtube. Very entertaining, informative and loads of different designs from all over the world.

I actually did that around december to a gopher on my front yard!

I was able to see him through the backyard fence. Went and got my trusty bolt action Remington 700 airsoft replica. Thing shoots HARD.

no optics installed, I nailed him in the back of the head when he peeked out of his hole. Hit him hard enough he went into seizure and flopped out of the hole. I quickly flung my gate open and butted him 3 quick times to finish him off.
Gopher problem: solved!
I dont think I have a pic of him though.

Super guy that owns it, I could follow the majority of what he was talking about and came away incredibly impressed with the plane...

The landing and take-off distances were mind-boggling!

(and there's something about the look of the plane - like it's an aviation equivalent of a rock crawler)

We have turkeys here in Texas, and a male peacock flew from some park in town and landed in my mother's backyard - took us a couple hours to get it calm and staying in one spot so they could come and get him...

From the pic it's hard to tell what that is...?

At least we have it narrowed down to fowl. It's definitely not a moose or a wallaby.

It is indeed a turkey. What gives it away is the length of the legs as well as the thickness of them. Another tip-off is the shape of the turkey's undercarriage. Not many birds have that particular build.
