So I have Been catching mice. Put them in the freezer. so should I just stick a mouse down the hole or chop them up assuming thing to them and make a smelly bait. I was just thinking stuff them down a hole because I'm limited on time but wondered about how well that sent will travel.

i use them as a lure holder and eye appeal. I put a little lure on them and stuff them down the hole. They're not visible from the air (per PA law) but a canine can see something down there if it looks.

I catch them at camp and freeze them until trapping season. I don't catch any at home because our cats kill them before I can.


Eh...wot?

I think of them as eye appeal. I use lure in addition to the mouse. I have a handful of ground moles in the freezer I’m gonna try this year.

I grind them fresh “thawed” and preserve them right away it has a sweet caramel smell when it ages thats attractive to K-9s and badgers.

We use them in cubbies and down dirt holes, with a modification.

The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

Heard some meo at the door opened it to find this doing her job. Another one that won't make it into the house alive. except maybe into the freezer for bait if she leaves it. Every fall it's mice, Flys, and the little Asian beetles that are like lady bugs but not red ..

I feed the local crows with the mice I catch. They seem to enjoy them.

I save them and freeze them whole all year. When I get a gallon bag full I grind them up coarse and add a preservative. Sometimes I age them one to two days. Mice age very quickly

I toss them into the woods and let something have a snack.
