Ryan M OP trapper R Joined: Jan 2026 PA	Looking for ideas to build a cover to place at entrance burrows for a nuisance groundhog but don’t want my 5 month old dog stepping on the traps. Burrows are around shed and off driveway. Thinking like a box that I weight down and have over top of my 550’s. Looking for ideas or even better real world experience.

Also possible to use chicken wire to form a tunnel over the trap. "in the midst of a savage wilderness to depend entirely upon their unassisted strength and hardihood"

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
