Very nice to see a nice young kid not making trouble in the city and having fun in the wild. HUNTING SAVED MY LIFE.

I saw a Brit guy on U-tube hang a box from a tree for squirrels. Open at both ends. He had two nails inside (placed before he made up the box ) to hang the trap. Then peanut butter wiped on the trigger wires. It works nicely for squirrels. I am making some boxes tonight. Damn squirrels chewed a hole in my roof. I heard them and saw them doing it. But when I went out to pop them with my pellet gun they ran off fast ! So I fixed the hole they started by stuffing chicken wire in with some smelly dryer sheets. They have not come back . But 5 am still going to trap them though! FYI thanks.

Watching you crunch around in those oak leaves gets me excited for fall!

Always great to see the Young Bushcraft Titan...cheers.

Solid video. Well done. Keep it up. Keep telling the story.

Nice box. Imo I would anchor it better. If a raccoon got in it would be gone imo.

You know, if you turn the trap box around where the groove(s) face to the rear, you don't need a stick. When the animal tries to pull back out, the spring won't let it go anywhere since the trap just fits in the box.

Good video young man.

Looks like you putted a new handle on your hatchet,it looks really nice good video off course

Hey Ken check out a petco or similar pet store they carry a tube of peanut butter used for dog treats they also have other flavors too. It is similar to a tube of toothpaste (made by Kong) usually by the dog treats. It might be an alternative to using the single serve peanut butter. You can use what you want then close it up and throw it in your pocket and not have to worry about a open pack or wasting any. Just a suggestion might be something to check out.

Great video!

that's very cool - LIKED & THX!

Good video !

Good work bro!!

This looked like a super idea to keep deer from getting in my traps. No deer but some kind of critter has been removing the Conibear 110 trap from the box and setting it off. It then gets the bait out of the box. Frustration...

I am curious how you did trapping last year. Are you planning on trapping again this year? I would recommend using some "Duke" dog proof traps for raccoons. You will catch the occasional opossum but it really does eliminate other unwanted catches. Use a marshmallow, not fish or cat food. Fish do catch neighbor cats!

Hey great idea man can u tell me the exact measurements (length) of the box that u made. Thank you ahead of time

can you tell me please, what software program or camera you have for the video to fade in and fade out please. atb Ray

you should try to trap some mink with those boxes, if you got any mink though

try a bag of frozen seafood a hole bag for 4 bucks 1 piece of squid or something like that realy attracts racoons

Thanks dude!!! I got possums eating at my roof and was looking for an inexpensive way of getting rid of them. There's also pets in my neighborhood...this is the perfect setup!!! Question: how far back is the groove on the side cut? And how do you keep your conibear traps from rusting? I just got 6 in the other day and hadn't done anything to them yet.

Oh well.

OMG is h cut or w... thanks for the info.

yup

Why don't you smear that pb on one of those leaves and toss it in there instead of a stick that can be taken?

Did u replace the handle on your hatchet

Your wiskers are backwards you should spin your trap around

You set the trap inside with the safety on!

ummm....did you EAT those poor little animals??!!!

Put a screen on the back

what are you trapping

This is a good video but u could probably catch more if u tried not to leave as much sceng

no backing on the box to keep them from goin and stealin your bait out of the back

kenny u might trap a cat they can get in to small spots

*scent

This kid has the jitters bad. He needs to calm down.

What about a bird getting in there and accidentally setting off and tragically killing a small bird?
