Markbo, yes the horizontal stick gets a little peanut butter. Its a split stick deadfall, easier to get to work than the figure 4. Its got a notch that holds the two vertical hinge sticks. I had 8 cub scouts I taught it to and issued each of them a set last year. If you want another mouse trapping laugh watch my video www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w6gWyvLYtYI trapped a mouse with a miniature bear trap with 3/4 inch jaws.

That is so incredibly much better than just going and buying a cap. He can tell the story to his kids when he shows them the cap and pass it down.
Very awesome.

Good looking kid, great parenting. I love it.
We've had some raccoons around our place off and on - I don't have a trapping license, or any traps - so I just bait them with cat food and shoot them in the head. I got as far as tanning one of the hides, but then we left town and I had it sitting out in the garage and rats ate it! One of these days the kids will get a hat though. Thanks for sharing.
