How do you open a wolf trap?

To open the traditional foothold trap, you have to press down on both springs at the same time to release the jaws then open the jaws. It is not the easiest thing for one person to do by themselves, although it can be done (usually by stepping on the springs and opening the jaws with your hands). I'd recommend having two people. Of course it is trickier if there is a wolf in the trap :-)
