Demonstrating the Leg-Hold Trap on a Floating Platform

What happens here

The host showcases a leg-hold trap, which he identifies as a 'Duke' brand trap, combined with a custom-built wooden floating platform. He explains how the trap is designed to sit on the platform, with a carrot used as bait placed on a vertical stick. When a muskrat climbs onto the platform to reach the bait, it steps on the trap's trigger plate, activating the jaws. The trap and muskrat then fall into the water due to the weight, leading to the animal's drowning. He clarifies that all traps, especially floating ones, must be securely tethered to prevent them from drifting away or being lost.

Goal: Understand the function and safe deployment of a leg-hold trap with a floating platform.
