If you find such abode, set one or more traps in the immediate vicinity or therein. Place cotton or wool underneath the pan and see that the pan works very easily. Cover trap with rotten wood, etc. If you are unable to find a hole endeavor to kill a rabbit. If you are successful, take a knife and skin the animal. Now walk along dragging the animal behind; when you come to a convenient locality, set your trap, permitting the rabbit’s blood to drop in the vicinity; if advisable hang a small piece of the rabbit above the trap. Proceed until all the traps are used.
