I found a bunch of these near cabins in New Hampshire and decided to keep a few because I brought containers just in case I found something I wanted. I originally thought they were wolf spiders in the genus tigrosa or hogna because we have a lot of those in Massachusetts where I live. I now think they’re a species of funnel web spider. Anyone know exactly what these are? Here are some pics.

He is correct in the 2nd post, thats a Agelenid. They're easy to keep, just provide a large enough container for them to web and some structure points for their funnel and also some kind of large object for them to make their retreat behind or inside of.

Ok thank you everybody. Really appreciate the responses. I’m out right now but when I get home I’ll take a picture of one of them up close👍

probably genus Agelenopsis judging by the long spinnerets

Alright thank you. I just fed them today and they have great feeding responses. One of them pounced at the cricket I placed on the web and then bolted back into its den with it in its fangs!

Sounds right for them.
