I hope my dobie doesn't learn how to dig moles up. I leave him in the house when I remove them from the trap. He would catch on in very short order if he observed me removing them he would excavate the back yard. He caught on to squirrels & PCPs in very short order. I am starting to make...

So if you are not washing, do you just spray the lube in the tin?

For those wanting to know, I emailed Zan this question. They quickly emailed me back stating the B.C. for the Zan 59 gr. HP was 0.125

You da man! LOL and you can look for squirrels at the same time!

So far the ones I trapped were dead when I removed them. Moles serve a good purpose in the wild but not digging tunnels in my entire yard.

Well I finally got fed up with the moles. It looked like a truck load of them were in my yard. I went to Rural King and bought 4 traps.This is the link if you want to order some:Mole Trap These things have worked great. I have gotten 4 so far. I looked at different models but some were...

A lot of effort is taken with the trap preparation for certain animals. The traps are even boiled. I think most of this is for upper predatory animals like bobcats, wolves, coyotes, wolverines etc. that are spooked by human scent. For this reason latex gloves are even used when setting these...

Agree. The secret to using a snare and for that matter any trap is location, location, location and funneling the targeted animal into it. They have to be set correctly including the loop diameter. With any trapping you are bound to get non-targeted animals. You just have to take steps to...

Hey that is using technology. Where and how do you position the trail cam whereas not to get a lots of false targets from birds etc.? Do you have it set up to send a cell phone notification? I know what you mean about sitting outside waiting on them. However I enjoy the looking. But LOL the...

Just curious if most are caught around the neck and strangle/dangle from the board? Are any alive when you retrieve them? How big a diameter loop do you use? Guessing 1 1/2-2 inches? Do the other squirrels become somewhat aware of the snares and avoid them? That is an issue I have had trapping...

Have you placed any trail cams in the vicinity of the tracks? Are they frequently present? Try predator calling. If they are close by they will come. If not...LOL other predators will. If they are free ranging/feral dog tracks then the dogs can pose a real threat to newborn calves especially if...

Hey I resemble that!

This is a very informative post. I enjoyed seeing all the groups with different pellets. It is puzzling to see the Hades groupings being all over the place. I have a .22 cal Revere & used JSB 18.13's for many months with lights out results. After reading about the JSB Hades I decided to give...

Good luck with resisting. I can't.
