Have you tried?
If not, have you tried a taming pen?

All traps only last a max of 15 seconds. They are not that useful except for placing walls\taming pen around a dino.

Build a small pen with doorways on fence foundations and lead it in. When it gets inside plop the walls behind it to keep it from getting out. Some people will use a trap inside to hold it long enough to finish putting down the last walls, but I find that generally isn't needed.

Large bear traps only.

Study the wiki- that's how I pass nighttime in-game.

Ehhh traps are lacking anyway
But trikes are pretty easy to kite as are most Dino's with terrible turn radius

Just watch out, Trikes like to climb rocks like spiderman.

I just made a giant live-trap out of stone walls and a dino gateway.

Wait for something to wander in (or chase one in, not sure how well luring would work), then lock them inside and shoot them from a catwalk.

Luring works very well as long as you are careful. I never use catwalks, I always use doors and windows instead of walls to make the traps. Then you can just run around outside it shooting thru the openings, or even venture inside with the animal and dart back out again if it goes for you.

The reason I haven't tried luring is because I haven't figured out a safe way to actually close the gate on the dino once it's inside with me.

For escaping I could just have a door or a rope ladder, but I'm not sure how I would close the gate before it just leaves the box again.

It takes a dino a lot longer to turn around and get back out the gate than it does for you to run around and close it.

How many trikes could a bear trap trap if a bear trap could trap trikes?
