Small hole and I suspect a skunk or possum. I set a 110 in the entrance. 2 nights in a row the 110 pushed out of way and critter goes around it. No problem I take a cage over and make positive set with it. First night it digs around it. I'm starting to get mad. No problem though I'll just put #1 longspring buried in front of hole. 2 nights in a row it gets dug out and moved. I'm starting to wonder what I'm dealing with that's out smarting me. I add a dog proof ,a camera and reset the foothold. Nothing first night, second morning home owner calls and says trap has been dug out and moved to the side, still set. I figure well if the camera done it's job I'll at least know what I'm dealing with..... I'm being schooled by a rabbit....!!@@ got it on video digging trap out and moving it.... this rabbit has never previously been trapped or pinched. I'm sure it's never seen a trap previously in it's live. Patio is at someone's house so it's use to human odor and activities and it digs a well set foothold. An animal as lowly as a rabbit doesn't have to be pinched or scared of human scent or educated in any way to be wise to a set is my take. Last edited by Yes sir; 10/26/24 11:22 AM.
