Animals are really moving, 26 deg. here. First day of NM trapping season

Nice catch. Little fellers, ain't they. Looks like coyote bait!

I enjoy trapping mice almost as much as catching muskrats. I don't know why.

I thought it was yotes. lol

I have two seasons worth in the freezer, waiting for the market to rise!?

Score !

Or, Catfish bait! I do ìt all the time.

Words of a true trapper

Do you just push the fat off with the dull edge of the fleshing knife?
Or do you use the sharp part around the neck like on a coon first?

That picture should be on the cover of a trapping magazine.

I had one very similar about a month ago.

Do you use Skippy or Jiff? Crunchy works better for pack rats.

Skippy, same jar for three years now.

This may be dumb, but do mice actually like cheese?

They eat anything, very destructive I have an on going battle with them to keep them out of my trucks, pack rats too. I guess they like cheese, peanut butter is easier to use and it works.

Nice work! I just finish putting out my longline for roof rats. (one rat trap in the shed). I'm sitting here like a kid, anxious to go check it every half hour.

I got behind the game in my garage this summer. It was infested with mice. I was setting the line, and it seemed like every 15 minutes...SNAP!. Was pretty fast action for a couple three days.

I catch them year round where I live-but now our city( BYLAW) banned the use of glue traps outside LMFAO. Like why? if its in my own yard-seriously. So I have been running about 6 snap traps in the garage and outside-like a little kid checking them all the time.
