I use them for coon and bobcat but there isn't a possum that can pass one by. Advantage is they are portable so you can put it where it's most advantageous. Most useful for nesting predator control jobs. There is nothing in the woods that can walk by without looking in, even us

There is nothing in the woods that can walk by without looking in, even us I guess you could call them portable, given that there's a skidsteer in the first photo.

First cut cedar slabs make a nice cubby for mink use a trimmed piece on the top and sides fill across the bottom with a 1X2 to support in the middle. This gives you a natural looking cubby on the outside with a square opening that will take a 110, 120 or foot trap at both ends.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Probably a good option in more populated areas, more discreet and avoiding the curious or johnny sneak'um.

Heavy to haul around.Tend to rot down in a few seasons. Northern trappers will make them on site with a chainsaw out of sound wood-those last for years on the line.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I bore a cross hole in them and hang them up for bird/squirrel houses, but I can see them working for you.

I love burning hollow logs on the bonfire, stand them up in the middle and watch them turn into rocket stoves, lol. Now, you're trying to deprive me of that simple joy in life Hern. I bet they would be nice on bobcats set in place prior to season even... so long as you don't put them where guys who like them in bonfires will find em. lol We call those chimney logs, VERY cool!

Years ago I made some from thick oak saw mill slabs with bark on. Some were 3 sided with dirt floor. They worked less than anticipated, we had no fisher or cat season then. Let us know how yours do later Hern. Preseason, prebait ,I predict possum cleaner outers. (Not a bad thing)

I will set stuff like that when I find it. I have no doubt I'd get possums and coons, may even Fisher around here.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.
