Came up short again, but I'll keep trying. This has been on my bucket list basically forever. The video shows how it's done and I think you'll find it interesting.

That wasn't the set up I used. I caught plenty using bucket snares and a few in Aldrich snares.

Captured 8 in Aldrich snares set at the base of trees with bait (sardines tins nailed up on tree.)

Also caught 1 in a culvert trap baited with peanut butter and honeybuns.

All were nuisance beeyard raiders and I was on the state dime. It was fun.

Most were 1st night catches. Like trapping a big coon.

Most of those methods would not be legal in Maine, but effective I am sure.
