Bear trap from scrap metal? Also other types of traps?

[silversun]

Not sure if it's been suggested before but a bear trap from scrap metal which can also trap maybe a wolf of deer could be realistic? I know it's cruel to animal but this is a survival situation.

Also, I'm not a survival expert but maybe other types of traps can be implemented, for example digging a whole in the ground (if shovels would be added) and camouflaging it with thin branches and snow/moss for large animals to fall into it lured by some raw meat? then you can stab it with the spear which has not been implemented yet, caveman style :))

I would love it to be able to craft bear and deer traps. So +1 from me.

This could be a little OP...

[silversun]

I guess it would depend how it's implemented, if forging it is hard and bear would only seldom stumble in it than it wouldn't necessarily be OP

I don't know whole lot about bear traps but don't those require REALLY strong springs? I don't think there's any other craftable items that are advanced as that. Like other have said, it is fairly OP, so it would have to be something that's only possible with the highest level of crafting/forging skill.
