Made a fake trail lol fish oil in the bottom and got this dude today. No damage to the trap other than the trigger wire being bent. Gonna try in a few other places to see what happens . I swear critters are easier to find when it gets back up lol

Yeah but not as much as I figured he would lol. But other than this corvid crap having everyone loose there minds it's about the same. Having a cold snap every three days is getting annoying thoihh

Pretty cool its working like you wanted. If your just trap testing check early. Heat stroke is pretty common in trapped animals.

Rule # 1 with cage traps.
Plywood fastened to bottom of trap,at least 4 inches bigger all around than bottom of trap.
If you are doing an ADC job and you set on a lawn,the property owner will not make you replant.

Makes sense but this us just by one of my deer feeders. Kinda irritating actually because this is one of the same places I set for a week would during season and first night set in some warm death and I got one smirk

To see such ambition, innovation and humbleness in our youth is to delight in the future.

Hogs been hitting the roll feeders I made pretty hard last few days. Found out though my original idea though isn't as bullet proof as I hopped. But I figured out how to fix the problems so no big deal. Just need to get my trail cams batteries changed so I can start timing these hogs.

The beaver..... 98% sure they moved out that pond. No new chewings,slides, trails mud on any of the stuff they made. The same their causing just seems to be their old bank den collapsing in on its self due to lake of matence on the beavers part. Had a camera out of a solid wee watching the main entry point between the two ponds and nothing.
