mousetraps. - bigpaul - 15 June 2013
just ordered 2 plastic mousetraps on ebay, great for catching smaller game and birds(pheasants?), they'll go in my pack along with a couple of lengths of paracord, they've got holes in the back as standard so you can tie them off to a tree or a rock so the prey dosent run off with it!
already got some snare wire in my pack so this is just as an added extra.

Which size did you get?
There is a small size for mice and a larger size for rats. You need the big rat size. The small ones will not hold a critter bigger than your average mouse.
I once fought an epic battle in the utility room with a rat caught in one of the large traps. It had him by the tail and he was really pi$$ed!
The trap was unsecured and, true to reputation, they charge when wounded.
I killed it with my trusty walking staff and made an amazing discovery. Rats shrink when dead! That sucker was twice as big while fighting me than he was after the dispatch.

I have a few rat and mice traps for around my chicken shed, never thought of birds , useful post BP , 2 going in my BOB now. And rats don't like my .22 pellets either MB ....caught one the other day trying to give tough to one I shot, needless to say the result of that encounter .

these aren't the old wooden ones, these are modern plastic ones and the spring on them is very strong.

I mail ordered some Fenn traps a few years ago, they came ready set with the safety catch on ( easier to post because they're flat when set ). I'd never had one before and didn't know if it was set or not - I soon learned.

Is it worth considering humane mouse traps at all? food stays fresher for longer if it's alive
