Tips
Hard to believe, but wolves used to be caught in such pits. Usually a living animal, such as a sheep, was put in the pit as bait, then the trap pit was covered with straw. Wolf pits appear again and again in stories or in the literature of the time. The last wolf is said to have been shot in 1850 using a wolf pit.
