The animal was lured using a dog that was kept inside a cage, and the cage was camouflaged with leaves.
Incidentally, this is the third leopard that has been trapped at the same spot, Taluk Forest Officer Sanganagowda said.
As soon as the news of the leopard being trapped spread, villagers came in groups to see the animal.
The leopard sustained minor injuries as it tried to escape from the cage.
The beast was later shifted to Kappathagudda in Gadag district.
