Repairing the bear trap 7 hints left
Tony: "It needs a spring to work... it can't be triggered as-is."

Typical - after all that hard work, the trap's broken.

What's wrong with it?

You can read the signpost for an exact quote, but in short: spring's missing.

Where am I going to find a spring?

Springs are often found in old mattresses; check the spots in town that're most likely to have a mattress laying around.

Where do you suggest?

Anywhere that looks run-down and is out of the way.

Tell me where to look

The bull's trailer on the north side of town is pretty nasty-looking; while you won't find a mattress here, there may still be something useful if you look hard enough.

Where should I look?

Search the trash can on the far right for TWO useful items! It really is Christmas!

What are they?

A boring monkey wrench and an exciting Jumpy Joe toy.

Jumpy Joe happens to be a spring with googly-eyes - exactly what we need to repair the bear trap.

Hooray!

By combining Jumpy Joe and the bear trap, we've put the 'deadly' in 'deadly trap!'

Next up - the net.
