a device used to capture and restrain an animal. Basically, this is a long stick with a noose (cabled loop) on one end. You place the loop over the animal's head, and then tighten the cable to hold the animal. (When capturing some species, such as bobcat, you'd place the loop over the animal's head and over one front leg.)
