Back in the 1950's my Dad , born in 1904 showed me some trapping techniques he learned as a boy, when game laws were lax or nonexistent and ammo and steel traps too expensive. I'll give the names he used. Quail trap for small birds, turkey trap, deadfall with figure 4 trigger mostly for fur bearers, snares both rigid and springpole, a couple variations of hollow logs, and box traps made from lumber.

Look for military survival manuals, they cover those and many more.
Here is one everyone should have, digital and paper, read it and become familiar with all these techniques, it may save your life, or make camping more interesting.
