Title: 2 rats and a cat
Post by: fatslinger on February 01, 2014, 09:46:32 AM: Yesterday was a good day for me on the line. I think the rain may have encouraged the animals to start moving again (or maybe they are running around looking for love). Anyway, I left work at 0730 and checked traps on the way home. I was shocked to see the door closed on the bobcat trap and even more shocked to see a big tom looking back at me. Last week it was a possum looking back at me. Kept walking to the creek and there was a rat in each of the colony traps! January was such a slow month for trapping, it really felt good to start catching stuff again.

It is just fine for cats right out of the box, but a beaver or raccoon will tear it up. Just to be safe reinforce the door and seams with cage clips or hog rings.
