Made one during the race yesterday

This morning this and perfect catch

I'd say they work.
Now to make them big enough for mink

I saw that video, pretty cool!!

What did you use for a spring? I think that style would work good in the chicken house.

Yes what metal did you use?

Springs are electric fence and the loop is craft wire.
I'm making big ones for the chicken house. And I'm making a safety to hold the spring in place while the string is being tied

Cool, Thanks

You talking about high tinsel wire? That's the first thing I thought about when I watched the movie. Good catch.

Thank you. I was thinking high tensile wire, but wasn't sure about it. Inch and a quarter hole?

I'll bite. Where did you see the construction of that mouse trap? I likey...

Made this one at lunch.

Takes longer to set than make

I need that for a feed lot down the road to make mouse bait for K-9 trapping! LOL Better then taping snap traps on laths to stick in holes.

Law Dog that's my plan. I'm also making them stronger with a #2 helper spring for mink next year. Cut a PC of fire wood length wise down the middle. Cut side to the ground, make a 21/2" hole all the way Thur. Set both ends.

Someone posted it on here last week I think it was. Not sure if it was or not, but it should be put in the archives.

I'm thinking a smaller "bait hole" on the top drilled into the middle! A Cheese Wiz size hole? LOL

So I'm guessing the bait goes behind the string?

Yep, leave it to trappers!

There's always a better, bigger, more efficient trap!
