The trout in the colony trap was released unharmed. Being a fisherman I was very careful to ensure this.

Watch how the cage jumps when the door drops and hits him in the foot. In the future I'll really be making sure the cage is secured better. If it tipped over he'd get out.
I always set along side a small tree and wire the cage to the tree so it can't tip.
Nice cat! I'm jealous of your rats!

Awesome videos! I always wanted to put a cam outside of some of my traps, but thought it would be to hard to watch the refusals. Do you get many bobcat refusals on film?Yes, that same cat. He wouldn't go in at night. Kept looking at the cam. Freaked him out a bit. First time he showed up during the day he went right in.

Just watched the otter video and enjoyed that as well... Pretty sweet to get a double. I used to trap quite a bit in the County before they shut it down for legholds, conibears and snares. I really enjoy your posts and think it's great that there are still guys out here gettin er done. What is the best way to dispatch the mink in the live traps?I toss the trap in the water while we check the rest. Gives the body good time to cool down as well.

Cool videos 3nails. How about a video on some of you mink sets before they produce.Mink cage set (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIEW_zMB-HY#ws)

I think they'll bump it around but the instinct when deprived of air is to go up, they always die in the upper corners.

Looks like alot of fun :tup:This is by far my favorite rat trap size. 16x8x24. Doors are 8" wide x 6" tall with a 2" xtra above the door for them to bite on and still let more rats in.

They make cool noises.I watched one sneaking up on a doe last year. When the doe took off, and the bobcat chased after her, the cat was making noises like that. The doe was actually leading him away from her fawn. She would stop whenever the cat would stop. Leading him away. Pretty cool to see.

The bear took the beaver out of your swim through trap? I was wandering if bears become a problem this time of year. There's a lot of torn up stumps near where we have a Bobcat trap. I keep expecting to find the set tore up from a bear.No, the beaver carcasses I had out to attract the bobcats.

The only way to keep a trap working after they show up is to trap them out. Sometimes a lot of them. I think my record is 11 in a row before I cleaned out a spot. How Many day left in the season? :o
