Sheep’s wool in my experience will cause problems with mice. I’ve used it and had success with it, but had more trouble that it was worth to me. I just threw away two bags of it that I’ve had for years.
Ended up taking a propane torch and heated the inside of the pvc a bit and stuck the tightener in the end, it cooled and feels pretty solid now so may work out! Gonna wrap it in somethin so I can get a better grip on it.I made a catch pole but not sure I like the clothes line tightener. Gotta dremel out the pvc a bit to see if it will stay in place better. May end up buying one if not. It seems to work, and was cheap. (saw em on YouTube)
Awesome! Good luck to yall! My son was interested til we ran out of possums to catch . I think we caught em all around the house, I poured out some cat food and got pictures of 3, put a trap out in same spot and they won’t come near it or eat the food on the ground around it. Or they just haven’t been back through. We will see if we can’t get somethin tonight. Gotta find us some coons next!Started today, weather hasn't been the best, kind of warm, mid 30s to mid 60s, lots of mud.
13 snares and 9 DPs set this evening for the WV critters
Youngest granddaughter wants to go check them tomorrow and set some more, wish us luck
That’s awesome! She knows more about snares than I do haha, let us know when yall catch somethin, I bet she’ll be excitedNothing but wet, but she did set 2 snares after I wired them in, taught her 10 and 10 and how to do guiding to get them to go into the snare.
Saw 5 deer, one really stood out, almost blonde compared to the others,maybe leucistic I believe.

A lot of trappers swear by it and use it constantly. I have a big bag of it but I really don't use it too often. Honestly I usually don't even think about it. I do have a little bag of white fur that I got from a craft store that I will throw in a dirt hole with my bait on occasion just to give a little visual attraction.Sheep’s wool in my experience will cause problems with mice.

You’re raising him right CJ! Good job on the coons, better job as a dadOur nest predator line is in full swing. 3rd year on the quail club property. Caught about 10-11 this first week. Seems harder to find any coon sign this year.
