I have never had any luck with a bucket trap. Tin cats work good and the wind up traps work good. A bull snake is very effective they either catch them or cause them to disperse.

I’m guessing nothing. The idea is the mouse crawls to the end for the bait and overbalances the shim into the water.What is holding the wood shims to the 2x4?
Careful balance until weight is put on it?Yea I thought of that but it looks like it would fall off from having 2/3rd of it overhanging like that. Must me missing the lead sinkers in the back.
Yep, just gravity. It takes a bit of practice but like everything else you get the hang of it. You don't want enough of an overhang that it falls too easily. Using a very thin shim helps.Careful balance until weight is put on it?
@Ridgerunner, I did wonder if you find the shim outside the bucket and no mouse trapped. If so, how often is it a miss?
