The invention comprises a trapping apparatus having a pair of jaws pivotally connected together at their ends. The apparatus has a strap mounted to the trap and has a magnet mounted to the strap. The magnet magnetically engages a metal culvert intermediate its height of the culvert with the magnet being sufficient to magnetically support the magnet, strap, and trap to the culvert intermediate the height of the culvert. The culvert is of a type installation wherein there is a waterway therethrough with the surface of the water in the culvert just below the magnetically secured location of the trap whereby animals will swim through the waterway in the culvert near the surface of the water therein and are likely to engage and trigger the trap and be trapped by the trap. The magnet is sufficiently weak in its strength so that upon triggering the trap, the weight of the animal in the trap together with the weight of the trap will cause the trap to disengage from the culvert magnetically and the trap and the trapped animal may sink to the bottom of the waterway where there is less likelihood of their detection by poachers and trespassers.
