Default RE: Traping brainstorm

the way I do mine,is I have a long trap 16' and the treddle is at the back about 2' from the pannel. I put two sticks into the grown about 2' , they are about a foot apart. I run a rope from the top of the gate up to a stick with a fork in it. the rope goes through the fork back to a stick about 2' long.I hook it behing the two in the grown.this holds the gate up. I then pour a small trail of corn bown both sides of the trap.a pile in the middle in front of the treddle,then pour corn under the stick across the two in the grown,when they eat all down the sides and the pile in the middle,they root under the stick and it goes up and the door falls.

I have caught as many as 18 in one trap.9 another time,6 and 7 many times.works real well.just be sure to put corn on the side and before they get to the back.
