Abstract: An improved animal trap of the leg-hold type has a trap pan formed with a grid having all lower surfaces tapered to a knife edge so that there is no requirement to cover the trap pan with paper or plastic when covering the entire trap with fine dirt to disguise the trap from the animal. The dirt placed over the trap is permitted to fall beneath the inventive grid pan, since the sharpened lower surfaces can easily penetrate this dirt. Stabilizing legs are attached to the trap frame to permit the trap to be firmly anchored in the ground when it is set.
