critter vs ghost

[longbowhunter2]

My house is up on a stem wall. So this critter has decided to move in under the the house. Tried poisen, a large rat trap. And it did not even slow this guy down. Put a tray with chicken food and a large rat trap. And it set off the rat trap and chewd it up, and chewed up the tray. So next step will be a trap and a snare.

I used to have a live trap and caught a lot of possum and raccoons, but after my first skunk the trap didn't catch anything else.

my last rental had freakin mice from living next to the trash can area from the complex. landlord told me it would be my responsibility or they would pay from my deposit to fix since they didn't exist when I moved in...Rat's are smart Mofos.

I had a lot of test n tune on locations and trap types before I finally started getting successful and eventually killing them.

The ultimate recipe was poison they like to eat and then sticky traps in the near vicinity along the trail they follow to get the food.

Hate F'in rats.

Lee,
Have you seen tracks? Sounds too big and too smart to be a rat. Raccoons will give you hell if you let them get a foothold. I have a live trap if you want to borrow it.

Pick up a live trap but tight fit under the house. This critter is smart and mean. Will see, hahahaha battle royal up .

That's why they call it huntin', not catchin'

If it were legal I would use these ;-). I "hear" they work good with a marshmallow in the bottom.

Have you used a trail camera? A good mercenary always knows his target

 

[longbowhunter2]

Drew hahaha I would except it might chew it up, Truduct that is an option.

Lee,

Bet it's a coon.....The property I hunt in Julian has them and they've killed cats, a goose, and chickens......Cute little things are mean as HELL!

 

[MJB]

Get that hound on that coon he will know what to do

Body snare him in the hole

Ditto on box trap. Sounds like a racoon but maybe possum or fox.

Box trap will get em all expect maybe a fox. I know from experience it will get skunks too but if you're not smelling skunk, it's probably not.

 

[longbowhunter2]

Have a box trap and a snare. Now to wait.

 

[TonyS]

New gen mice and rat bait will work but it takes time. The old 'de-con' worked first time. can't sell it anymore.

 

[longbowhunter2]

Have box trap set, waiting. It got around the snare. Re set it. Waiting game now.

Snares are illegal in CA. All body gripping traps are illegal in CA except for conibear style and ONLY for underwater beaver sets. Use a cage trap with tuna or melon. Don't mean to burst your bubble but publicly posting admittance of a wildlife crime is a good way to loose your hunting rights. Im a licensed trapper here in sd county and the rules and regs on trapping in California are very strict. If you'd like a licensed neusance wildlife operator to have a look and see what means of removal or exclusion are possible let me know.
