Critter Tread - Trapping

[jeeeep]

Lol. That's exactly what's in there. Same for me in the past. They can't resist it. I also added some peanut butter and jelly.

where is this trap? asking for a friend

First chance I've had today to check traps. Fricking river out here. These will likely be all ice for the next few days.

did you pull the traps, how quickly do they rust?

No. I'll just leave them and clean up the dirt in a few days. I'll still check them every day.

They rust from day 1 and I don't even worry about it. They still go off just fine.

You could always spray that goopy shit on them that @jeeeep uses on his jeep.

once they touch it, it would make it easy to track the coyotes

A quick change to trapping beaver!

 

[WJCO]

Probably the only time I'll be happy with frozen traps. This dickhead just walked over 3 of them. Saves me drama in the morning.

Went out to check traps and looked around a little bit for game trails in the fresh snow. Found one right outside my camera zone. Definitely not rabbit which i saw on camera all night. Similar tracks found on my lower deck too which camera should have caught.



Then my son showed me this one of our driveways. Camera there too but didn't pick up anything. Looks like feral cat to me.




I adjusted the cameras and sensitivity to make sure there aren't commies hanging around.

I'm constantly humbled by the power of these critters' noses. This DP trap was put out for a raccoon that got a rabbit awhile back. We have had crazy snow, ice (Not the somali type), and rain. I check this trap daily and it's just filled with old slop. Nothing cares. Yet somehow pepe was curious enough to engage. Happy Wednesday morning for me.

You get to use your modded pew pew

Was able to quietly sneak into the deer stand about 5 yards away and he didn't suspect a thing. All laser, no scope. The laser on his nose did catch his attention and make him look around though lol.

The worst thing to find in your trap, things are about to get funky.

Why do you have little slaves if you keep doing the messy jobs? Almost no point in paying for them.

Dude's been out in the rain since like 1am. He's dead now.

rather see them die with a single shot than drowning

It wasn't deep. He didn't drown. I shot him. But it's been raining all night and this morning so the whole trap area was running water. I think he is happier now too.

Lol. I just realized my first post made it look like he drowned. No.

The rain has been coming down so hard, I haven't had a chance to get out there. So he's been in that trap since 1am. He made quite the muddy mess. He was likely happy when he saw me with the rifle.
