Decoys are a type of trap that can be used to catch animals. They are typically made of a piece of wood or metal that is shaped like an animal, and they are often baited with food or scent to attract the animal. When the animal steps on the decoy, it triggers a mechanism that traps the animal. Decoys can be used to catch a variety of animals, including rabbits, squirrels, and birds.
Decoys have been used for centuries to catch animals. The earliest known decoys were made of wood, and they were often used to catch rabbits and squirrels. In the 19th century, metal decoys became popular, and they were used to catch a wider variety of animals, including birds. Decoys are still used today by hunters and trappers, and they are an effective way to catch animals without harming them.
