Look what we caught in our trap....

7 years is a long time for a coup?

Lol yes that is a long time for a coup. For a coop, it depends on how well you maintain it, the weather in your area, whether it has made ground contact, the quality of the original materials, etc.

I see tons of links to trapping articles, where to buy, etc.. Very little information of how to actually set them, where, bait, lure, anchoring etc.. you know the actual important stuff.

Ask and you will receive. This is an inexpensive cubby set made out of a tote sized for bobcat, coyote and large racoons. By varying the size of the trap and what is used for a cubby, homer bucket, etc they can be down sized to catch the little freeloaders. Yes that is a CD tied to a piece of fishing line and yes that is duct tape on the botuom of the tote coated with cat nip.

Oh, if only!

Having an expectation that someone would use the search function on this forum is a tad unrealistic. Only people worse are the ones that think the search function is for providing a response to a decades old post. How do they even find them and why?

Thanks. I was trying to understand the connection to my Colt AR-15. Lol

I wasn’t looking for a how to. I know how to trap. My point was all the other folks making recommendations on where to buy traps but not how to set them, where to set them, anchoring, etc... Thats not a good example either especially since most are setting in relatively close proximity to pets and chickens. Plus it’s a tad overkill for a mink. Maybe a 110 or #1 FH.

As I said in my original post this is sized for bobcat, coyote and large racoons but it can be downsized to catch the small freeloaders. If i had a problem with mink or weasel i would make this sort of set. No special trap required. Just one of those old school victor rat traps. Same idea as the cubby set but pet and livestock safe. Can be set anywhere and the box plays on their natural curiosity to explore small spaces.

They work for weasels but not for mink. For mink you’re better off having an actual mink box set with a 110. Better yet forget the box altogether and just use the 110.

 

[UThobbyfarmer]

UT did you lose your ID chickens?

I am ordering birds in Feb. UT- did you still have her address? we can order at the same time again...

Everyone got killed except one mix breed hen from this year. So sad.

I'm not sure when I'll be ordering chicks again. I think I might just keep an eye on the few I've got for awhile.

 

[Rshumpal]

No offense meant. I sometimes forget about auto correct.
There are those that don't know the difference.

No offense taken. I agree on the correction, and my phone often seems to be having a different conversation.

How are your boxes set up? I bet they’re not the standard weasel box.
