I was, but the ball game came on @ 1 o'clock, so here I sit. Don't wanna rush into these things. Hearing thunder to the West, so who knows what's next.

Well, I have watched the video now. I think it is a great trap, and seems safe enough. I do wish they had shown him actually baiting the trap. I am assuming I will understand that by reading the instructions or if I look for other videos. JIC, is it simple enough to get the cotton ball in there?

I added some information to my last post you may want to reread.

I like small pieces of fish because I can drop them under the trigger. The animal has to reach all the way down to pull out food and in the process, pulls up on the trigger. If you use a cotton ball, you can do so before you set it. It is very hard to set by hand unless you have strong hands so I recommend the setting tool.
It is pretty hard to hurt yourself unless you have an appendage in the tube when the trigger is moved.

I've never used a leg hold trap, so don't know, but, unless you dispatch whatever's caught on the spot, how do you move a hurt, live, wild animal safely without getting bit?


Chain the trap, leg hold, conabear to a metal stake (pipe, rebar, whatever you have that's heavy) and shoot whatever is in it first. Have some practice in this with groundhogs, yeah they get a bit of an attitude too.

Hose water gets so hot I use it for sanitizing the chicks water bottles. Was working on the pool a bit. Cleaning one coop for the new hen and her hopefully friends. Put the resting birds in the freezer yesterday.
