bowtarist:
Wayne,  I've got a busy week ahead, but am going to try to make time for this.  I'll put it in window view so we can get right out there.  A box atyle trap seems like a heck of an idea.  Need to put one under my treestand.  ;D

Jimbob:
I used to have a US Army survival manual that had a pole with loops of snare wire wrapped around it so that when a squirrel runs up the pole he will eventually get his head stuck in one and there ya go.  Let me see if I can get a pic uploaded and here is a link to the manual.  http://www.equipped.com/fm21-76.htm

ridgerunner im in pa. In my home region. See my parents every few weeks and just spend time in the woods and parkin in walmart parking lots sometimes to sleep haha. i could live at home but nawww. bowtarist i used peanut butter and yeah ya chance catching other things but thats kinda of a risk when trapping anything. the peanut butter brought them right in. at first i set in the fallen log that was at an angle where they ran up and down it like a trail set but had a squirrel jump right over it.  nice picture jimbob ive seen that before i want to try that

huntertrapper:
ate it for a late breakfast, boiled with some olive oil poured in, salt, pepper and some green sassafras sticks sassafras kind of gave it a different flavor maybe a bit sweeter or the smell gives it that affect. the broth i gave to my dog in his water and on his food. take er easy
