Alright, listen up. Grab a sturdy stick or a piece of rough wood for the bar, find a length of wire or rope that’s strong enough to hold a decent chunk of meat. Tie one end of the wire to the stick, loop the other end around the stick and then under the ground where the enemy’s footfall is likely. Bury the bar so the edge just sticks out, cover it with dirt and lay the bait—cut a small piece of fresh meat, a bit of blood, anything that’ll make a fool of their nose. When they step, the bar snaps, and the trap’s locked in. Make the line short enough that it won’t snag a passing branch, but long enough that the target can’t reach it without touching the bar. Keep the whole thing hidden, and make sure it’s heavy enough that even a tough one can’t lift it off in a heartbeat. That’s the simplest, deadliest trick we’ve got.

Good point about the rocks—never trust a slope that’s full of surprises. The splinter trick is clever, just keep it tight so the heel snaps on. If the enemy’s smart, they’ll move slow. If they’re reckless, they'll take the bait and fall right into it. Stick to that plan, and watch their pride bite. Good luck, and keep your claws off your own back.

No worries, just make sure the trap’s tight and the splinter’s ready. Keep your own paws clean, and if things go sideways, I’ll be the first to offer a slice. Stay sharp.
