He'd been stealing my beaver oil sacs that I hang on a rafter for beaver lure. Nice Christmas morning catch for me!

What is it,a big mouse or a small rat?
He looks pretty chubby eating all the oil.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Nice, have a somewhat similar situation in my shop. I need to do something like that.

I started using the roller that spans a bucket of water. Peanut butter on the roller and a small stick with peanut butter on the stick to provide a ramp and access to the roller. They climb up, try to go out on the roller and take their last bath, just keeps on catching and I freeze the mice for coyote sets.

Soda can on a straightened out coat hanger wire …. Drill a small hole in each side of the bucket to hold the wire …

I caught a packrat the other day for a neighbor. Marten box with a 120 and minkpan trigger.
