And another thing.......dad burned ants hauled my bait away. I checked it today, and I noticed something different about it. Upon closer inspection, ants were crawling away with my bread. I put the trap where I saw the poop, which is dangerous, because I know at some point, I'm going to forget and snap myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birddog Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Re: Hunting At School I had to set a trap line yesterday as well: Walked in and I discovered mouse turds on my counter: I have never seen a mouse in the house, but none the less trap line started: So from one trapper to another, good luck! Wonder what we can get for our pelts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missed160 Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Re: Hunting At School BirdDog & Tominator, remember the old saying, "There is no such thing as ONE mouse!!" I would keep the traps out when you catch the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLBUX Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 Re: Hunting At School It is real tough to cape one of these out, be extra careful around the ears and eyes! You might want to do a European mount. They are pretty cool with their teeth bared like that. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Re: Hunting At School Nothing this morning. Hopefully over the weekend. I'm still not convinced of my trap location. I might move it to the floor again before I go home for the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markyj987 Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Re: Hunting At School [ QUOTE ] Just saw on the History Channel that the average female mouse has sex 22 times a day. Better get to work Ranger [/ QUOTE ] lol saw the same show...but was the female rat that had sex 22 times a day on average. But I bet mice probably have the same kind of drive. [ QUOTE ] Anyway, the trap is baited with a little piece of melted cheese [/ QUOTE ] Chris, you should try peanut butter. Mice can't resist it. Just hunt hard, buddy....you'll get 'em!

Rhino Posted February 6, 2005 Report Share Posted February 6, 2005 Re: Hunting At School You're going to love this Chris! Our last weekend of deer season (1/29 & 1/30) we discovered some mice got into our camp. We were in the kitchen cooking and one ran across the floor. On of my buddies that was washing dishes just about soiled his shorts. The next move the mouse made running across the floor my best friend put a heck of a move on him and killed him with his first stomp attempt. I was amazed he could move so quick, bad knees and all. He's 53 years old too. I was impressed!!! That night he bagged the other mouse with one of the traps baited with peanut butter. We've found that peanut butter works a lot better that cheese. We had 2 kills that weekend and he got credit for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hunt hard, buddy....you'll get 'em! [/ QUOTE ] Well, the ants made off with my melted mozarella, so I used a noodle when I re-baited the trap. I've tried peanut butter with mixed results. Actually for me a Ritz cracker seems to be the best, but I didn't have any crackers at school. I just baited the trap with what I had for lunch those two days. I think I'll take some crackers to school tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted June 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 Re: Hunting At School *Update* GOT HIM! ! ! Came into work this morning (my last day before summer break, how poetic), and noticed a distinct smell. "Hmmmmmm, could it be?" I wondered silently to myself............and sure enough, checked the trap, "Houston we have liquid mouse." Decorum prevents me from posting a pic, it must have been trapped Friday or Saturday as the carcass was crawling with maggots. Good things come to those who wait.

Took almost 4 months to the day to finally get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLBUX Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Re: Hunting At School *Update* Was he caught under "fair chase" conditions? What did he score? As a pick up, will he make the B&C book?

Dried up noodles are Ohio approved bait for traps under their fair chase parameters. His skull scored 3/8"--just missed B&C by 1/32" Lil--bows aren't allowed on school property, so I had to resort to the trap, sorry I let you down PimpDaddysoontobefreshmanmeatforthevarsity.
