Real cool pics and cats!

Are you covering your pans and the bottom wire with anyting? Is so what?

I use whatever is common to the location. Moss, leaves, dirt, or a combination of all.

 Thinking about throwing out a trap for this bad chicken.

 Picked up this nice tom the other night. He'll go 26-27 lbs but I'll weigh him soon to make sure.

 Unfortunately the cat trips the pan in between video sequences. I'd have liked to have seen his reaction when the door came down on him.
 I replaced that trap with a longer one where the pan is deeper in the cage. I also took the carpet out of a cage that I trapped a female in last night that she peed on and put it in the new cage. Sooo....

 How far is the pan located inside that trap, I'm having a hard time trying to figure out how those cats are setting off your traps and not getting caught.

 It's just the one cat. He's giving me fits. I've had him in the trap 5 or 6 times now and he keeps getting lucky! He'll stretch out, trip the pan and back out. He's done this now with 2 different traps and now I have out the third. The first style was Mercers' trap. Then I tried a trap with a swing door which was probably a bad idea. I now have out the largest of the Briarpatch traps which is a lot deeper, with the pan deeper in the cage as well. I'll have to measure the difference in the distance that the pans are into the cage.

Looks like he is making it fun for you! 

If just walked in and got caught that wouldn't be fun, he is playing cat and trapper which in the end will be a sweet succes for you.
