Lou it sucked when I got my hand caught in the trap but its trapping. I just got some of my box traps ready for coon and fox so that will be alot more exciting then trapping rats. I'll have better shots of foxes and coons.
We don't bait the rats with anything. We set up the runs that they run to go feed. They can't really see so the trap in the run doesn't bother them. By the time they see or feel the trap its over.
I'm going to be resetting soon i want to get someone to tag along with me to make a video of it in 2 days. Setting up the holes and runs and seeing how they move from place to place. I think it would be something neat for everyone to see.
