Once upon a time, it was a box, a stick, and a string. Now it is mostly tape, a stick, and a string. The Varmint Hunter uses this sort of trap to catch things ranging from squirrel to truck sized. The bait is always meat for some reason though - and somehow it seems to work, no matter the quary. Even the rare vegitarian protester has been lured into the box's taped up arms with a morsel of meat. It is probably because of the numerous secret spices and sauces and marinades used in preparing the meat - such as peppercorns, basil, and some of those wiggly eyes from the craft store.
