Dose anyone trap animals out of culverts on a 4 lane highway. If so how do you combat all the stupid drivers out there?

First off make sure its legal. I assume you're not talking Interstates.
I have a few stops on 4 lanes. I just keep an eye on traffic but otherwise just go about my business.

Construction hard hat.

Orange or green reflective vest with 22 on an under arm shoulder holster.

Five gallon bucket and a metal clipboard.

Go at different times so the same people don’t see you each day.


How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

But your waders are still going to give you away. grin
For me, that's just too much work. Just make sure you're pulled off far enough where you're not going to get hit and do your thing. Most people going by probably don't even notice you and soon forget about it if they do.

I had one spot for beaver in a colvert under a 2 lane highway. No one tried messing g with and nobody cared. Didn’t catch anything in it but it was worth the try.

I was parked on the side of I 5 onetime and a very good looking female State trooper pulled in behind me,
Message over the radio was
“ I am out with the beaver guy”,,,,,, I had staters and games calling me laughing…..

And if you’re trapping in the median, you better have signs in both directions!
That’s why you gotta buy a double axle enclosed trailer with 2500lb axles. To haul the signage.
