"Käpälälauta"-fox trap

The käpälälauta-fox trap (literally: "paw-board" or "paw-snare") is a nearly two meters long board-shaped piece of wood, set in upright position. It's upper end is pointed and has two sharp wedges on both sides. The pointed end holds the bait. The fox usually ends up trapped by its forepaws stuck into the wedges. The "käpälälauta" is therefore useless without a bait which makes the fox jump to fetch it.
