Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
I'm building my own squirrel trap. I made a screen box, hinged door at one end. Anyone have a good idea on how to activate the door to shut?
You can e-mail me any latching, and trap plans to: CTerrian@hotmail.com
Tie a string to the door, very loosely, and have it run to the middle of the trap. Tie a carrot from the end of the string. When it grabs and pulls on the carrot the string unties and the door closed. What are you going to do with your squirrel?
Relocate them to my brothers house. We both live in the Northern Georgia Area. He doesn't have many squirrels at his place. I've counted 24 of them this morning at my bird feeders. [:@]
We would sit outside with a bucket and some string. Lay the bucket on it's side and tie string to the handle. Put seed in bucket. Wait for squirrel to get in and pull it. The bucket should stand up. That is what we did.
