I just caught my first squirell this past weekend using a figure 4 deadfall. I have read about these for years but never used one till now. I baited it with corn i ground up an put in a small pile. He was quite a flat little feller when i lifted the rock off him. He cooked up just fine,still hungry though lol..

Deadfalls can work, however oftimes the animal escapes - sometimes injured. For this reason I too prefer a snare.

I use a rat Trap. Drilled a hole in it so I can use a screw to anchor it to a tree for squirrels and a 10 inch nail threw the hole for chipmunks.

It works very well.
