I know nothing about trapping California ground squirrels. I have seen ads and YouTube videos about “The Black Fox & Rat Master repeating squirrel trap- http://thetrapmaker.com/traplist.htm “. I made one to the same dimensions to test on local tree squirrels, haven’t put it to a test yet.

You caught a fox in a squirrel trap? I'm having a hard time picturing this.

I would down size the size of the traps used to a more squirrel sized trap. That will reduce non targets of coon, opossum and fox considerably.

Haha, good one.

Ground squirrels are pickin up. The rain slows them down for sure, I will even close traps on rainy days.

Obviously set right near holes, and use big visible bait, orange slices or half an ear of a dried corn cob.

You will hit them, you know what you're doing, first jobs just seem to go cooky
