Very cool!! Took a while for me to reassemble the parts in my mind looking at the final picture but looks like a great design. How long till you had the kinks worked out like the adjustment screw? I am always amazed by trap designers.
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Real cold snap this week put me in the shop next to the stove. Discovered I had enough stuff to build a skunk trap. Very simple to do but learned a bunch in making it. May just have to build a few more but may redesign the back end to make baiting it easier. Thanks for the plans TD!

Very nice, but may I suggest you relocate the carry handle to the center balance point to make it easier to carry.

None of that one or two at time stuff though! Ya, first one is to figure out how it goes together and work out any bugs. Ordered material to make a bunch more.

Has anyone drilled holes midway along the side should one decide to dispatch? Would have to be far enough away from the trigger mechanism to prevent t them from reaching in and tripping the trap.
