Can't wait to see those cats.
Like to see the video on that skunk and bobcat both coming out of that hole.
I've heard of two different animals living in the same place. I know house cats will live under a house with skunks at the same time. Seen it and trapped both of um. I've also seen raccoon and house cat living in the same space too.

Man! That doesn't happen very often with those traps...
It happens with Every Trap when the Civets are on the prowl.
My guess is the Civets set those traps off just before the snow fell.
Have a fun season this year 3 Nails.

Dam !!! What does the video show?I decided not to check it so I wouldn't lead thieves to the cam. The tracks in the snow showed that the cat wiggled the cages enough close the doors.

Just a idea
Post by: 3nails on December 06, 2016, 08:30:18 PM
I'm using the metal tent stakes that you get at wall mart they are cheap ! I use one at each corner of the cage and it makes it really stable and firmGood idea. I better brush them in better too. Of course, he's probably sitting in it right now waiting for me. :rolleyes:

Will you usually be able to smell that a civet has been there and triggered the trap? Or just see bait is gone and door is shut?

Hopefully the door scoots him in...that's one reason why I don't use any guillotine door traps. I think the cage itself is big enough, just needs some regular o'l down swinging (Ouchfoss/Bruce style) doors to slam that fat Cats a$$ right in there!! :violent1:
Nice job on the videos! I have a few saved, but been thinking bout recording all my trapping

My problem has been weasels chowing on the bait so I made a weasel box for every cat cage and I'll set it right next to the cat cage
Keep up the vids !!! Jake

I also wrap the chunk of beaver ( big chunk 5-10 lbs ) so they can't tear it down
Curious to know what you mean by wrapping the meat?

As jake says, "wrap the big o'l chunk of frozen beaver meat in wire the way you wrap a Christmas gift in ribbon" :chuckle:
Wrap all the way around, then twist wire 90 degrees and wrap all the way around again...tightly; so when/if it thaws out it's still hanging up high for good scent travel & eye appeal

What video camera do you use ?Samsung Galaxy S7. :chuckle: I had to turn off the HD on it because it was too big for my computer. It's old.

Curious to know if you ever caught the big one you were after? It's nice watching your videos while I am stuck at home with a busted rig and no traps out.No. I should just pull it for awhile. It's getting too difficult to get to it.

That Beaver looks really dark, you might have to have it tanned and add it to your fur hoard. :chuckle:

You know it! I'm going to take advantage of the low fur prices and cover a whole wall.

3nails are you using the design that Dave Vinke came up with? If you are put 2" bite bars at the end of the dividers and that will help keep the rats off the doors.

He is using a double wide colony trap and yes it has 4 doors. I make and use them in rigid and folding with or without bitebars, 24 to 30 inches long, 5x10 to 8x16, and with or without wings.Yes, I got this design from the trap master himself! With a couple of my own additions.

He told me that the idea behind the 4 doors. When the trap is say 6x12 a single door will be 11x 7or 8 inches. That is a pretty good sized door for a rat to push. But when you put the center divider in you can use 2 doors 5x7 or 8 inches long actually less then half of the single door. That is why he made it with the 4 doors.It makes the trap more stable/durable also. :tup:
