[runamuk]

OK took a few minutes to picture it  , might work for rats with a 5 gallon bucket....if the rat "food" I put out doesn't work I may try this I have lots of old buckets around here...

Crap, it would work on teenagers if you get a big ass bucket.

[robodad]

Sounds pretty cool, doesnt it?   

Not yet !!! 

Now were talking, !!!  You have always got some cool ideas, I'll have to remember this one !!

Oh my God, that is friggin' genius.  Took me a little while to picture it.  You REALLY built a better mouse trap.  I am doing this next fall..

So next season is Hunting-Washington going to have to come up with a prize for the hunter that can kill the most mice while hunting?

I am going to try it in my barn tomorrow with a deep bucket.  It is not cold enough to freeze them but maybe they will drown.

One year at Teanaway we set 25 mouse traps around camp and had to empty them several times a day (the camp cook's job).  We figured that in one week we trapped almost 200 mice and a couple of others that I will not mention.  When they became scarce we moved the traps farther away from camp, it was pretty fun.

Here is my best night of killing during this 2008 Elk season; One trap, set once, 10 bodies, one night.

It's all about the body count!

Lets see your shots!

after seeing your pic I have to say your one crazy lookin dude!

[ICEMAN]

Polarbear, almost any temp water should chill them down and put the lights out.

JDB. Yes. Yes I am a crazy looking mo fo'! You should see me when I am off my meds!

They do not bother me at camp.  Fishing is for fools goes crazy at night because of them.  We were in the NE for 2 weeks on a whitetail hunt.  He could hear them running on the snow from 100 yards away right to the tent.  I thought he was going to kill himself, he could not sleep.  We have them anywhere and everywhere we go.  Montana is bad too.  He killed a ton on our Antelope hunts.  I bait bees in the summer and spring at camps.  I take a fishingh hook with line on it and hang it about a foot off the ground.  I will put a big chunk of meat on it.  Under the hook I put a 32 oz pepsi cup.  Fill it half full of water and let the games begin.  They will knock each other off or eat so much they cannot fly or eat so it falls of inot the water and they all drown.  We got 240 yellow jackets on on set one time.

Yeah, we do the bee traps at our elk camp in September.  It's fun and all, butI think I am at a point in my hunting career where I am ready to move up to mice, especially now with the new skills I am gaining on this site.  Maybe in a couple of years I can move up to gophers, then badgers...

...chit, maybe one day I'll kill a $#@!ing elk...

We do the same thing in Alaska except we use a piece of fishing line and two pop cans. Just put holes in the pop cans on the ends in the center and run the fishing line through and attach to each side of the five gallon bucket. Bury the bucket so the top is flush with the ground and push the pop cans to the sides of the bucket and bait with peanut butter. We use tall five gallon buckets and do not use water. They cannot jump out of a tall bucket. We want them alive.
 We have some very large rainbows (some are over 30 inches) that hang out at our fillet table. We take the mice and throw them in the river and let them try to swim the gauntlet back to shore. Very few ever make it to dry land!!!

Here is the pic..... a better mouse trap.

The spoon is so you can fling those little mouse carcasses out into the woods each morning and keep your hands all clean...
