Good kill!  We do love doing things the hard way around here, don't we!  ha ha

BJ, I've got 7 so far, Had a sprung trap this afternoon but not sure if maybe wind blowing thru shed set it off, Set pretty light so don't slam the door or shake the floor :( Bob

Bob,
This year there seems to be quite a few mice down at the cabin. I have declared war on them and have put out a pile of traps. I hate mices to pieces! Also have a resident owl and some fox and coyotes (seen on my trail cameras) doing there best to help me control them. Not sure why there are so many this year?
Take care,
Brian

Yes it's really windy here to. Lots of rain. Snow is all gone for now. You must have that trigger set just right. A bear should be easy. ;)

Well, I guess you could use the mice to blow your nose, and the squirrels for...um, nevermind.
