Mouse Trappin'
 

Alright, I officially have a hilarious idea. I'll start if off with the story on how it came about.

Woke up this morning and made myself some brekfast. Get done and prepare to throw away the trash in the garbage under the sink. Open the cubboard (sp?) door and pull out the trash (Of course it is full to the rim as always). BAMM, mouse jumps out of the trash bag, landing on my foot, and scurries into a little opening.

I laugh about it for a minute and figure, I'll have to set some mouse traps.


I get to thinking, hey, let's have a mouse trapping contest on HNI.

Anybody in? Maybe a 3 trap limit. One point per mouse, picture required?

I think it'd be rather hilarious. I mean why not, wehave a contest for everything else!




Let me know what ya'll think!

im all set. besides, i dont have any mice in my house and i aint about to invite any in

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

C'mon, whats the fun in that? You have to let some come out and play. Also, not being a jerk but many people think that don't have mice in their house but they really do. I've done some extermination for a few local people and they couldn't believe their quality house could have mice. The snow really drives them inside these days.

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

i built my house homefry. im positive i have no mice

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

I don't have any mice.I live in a tiny apartment in a high rise building (which I hate).I am so ready to have my own house next fall.

But for now, no mice here:D

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

What if your cat catches one? How many points for that. Only get points for mice caught inside!

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

ill go for it
it'll be like the small game contest...only smaller

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

as crummy as my apt is...you would think that we would have hundereds...but the manager of the building brings in an exterminator once a week, spraying stuff to keep them out and all sorts of weird other things...my place is clean...now if you want me to play this game on my grandpas farm....its on!

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

Well, I guess the contest won't work, so I'll just make this where I'll post my mouse trappin' experiences.

My trapline is complete at this moment. Bait of choice --> Cheese. May switch to Peanut Butter, we'll see on the results.



"Under the Sink Set"... Always a good producer.


I call this one the "Double Dare Rafter Set"... Usually can get a double here.

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

Thats a nice ambush setup you got there but mine are always locked and loaded....when they're awake...:D
Which unfortunatly inst often...:eek:

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

Ole' cats are sleeping on the job! Of course they choose to sleep on your clothes.

Sometimes cats can be great, most often I despise them!

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

i would doit in my barn:D

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

I'd be in for the contest. I was just getting set to start up my trapline again tonight anyhow.

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

It's on!!!


Alright, we are going to have to set up some rules in an idea that no one gets upset about the whole "mouse trapping contest" haha.

Give me some input on:
[ul][*]Trap Limit?[*]Inside Living Area / Basement (or should barns, garages be allowed?)[*]End date?[*]Scoring?[*]Picture / date requirement?[/ul]

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

I think five traps wouldn't be too many. I think why not let the garages/barns in but only with traps (no cat kills allowed). I don't know how to score but I like the picture and date requirement. But thats my ideas I'm open for any. Finally a contest I have a chance at winning. lol :)

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

Is this thread for real? [:o]

What's wrong with it Siman08?

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

I'm in buck hunter!! How about sticky trap use????
-Jake

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

I'm in we have them at my farm!

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

I vote for sticky trap use!!! They are the best!
-Jake

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

A trap is a trap in my mind. Snap, sticky or bucket traps. I figure they all do the same thing (or so we hope :D)right?



All my traps are in place, count starts tomorrow fellas, and ladies? *haha*

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

I'm glad I don't have mice;)

RE: Mouse Trappin'

-Jake

RE: Mouse Trappin'

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

Of course it is a stupid idea... but wait until we get some dead mice pictures rollin' in... hahahahah

RE: Mouse Trappin'
 

I heard one of my traps snap!!! I can't check it until 12 AM though, that's when the contest starts!

I'm going to begin another thread for official use.
