In the early days before the steel trap came into general use, the deadfall and the snare were used almost exclusively for he capture of fur-bearers, but at present when steel traps have reached a high state of perfection, are sold at prices which place them within the reach of all, they are preferred by most trappers. However, both the deadfall and the snare are good traps for certain animals. Some of the most expert fox trappers use the snare in preference to the steel trap but the number is comparatively small.
