Title: 3nails family trapping 2015-16
Post by: 3nails on December 06, 2015, 12:07:53 PM: And we're off. Finally! Got out 3 rat traps and a cat trap Friday. First check on the rats and we had 5.
One trap had 2 rats with their faces chewed on. Mr. Mink will have a surprise tomorrow.

Oh yeah. Probably went from a $3 rat to $1.50 rat.

My favorite type of sets with colony traps.
Nice set! I'm going to try a double like that this coming week. I have several channels that are deep, and hadn't thought to stack traps before, only to try to block below them.

Thanks for the insight.

Sound advice! I have been very careful in keeping things discreet. It'll be very hard for someone to mess with my gear and not get famous though! ;)
