Picked up 6 of these 110s, squirrels keep eating my tomatoes. I bent the tabs close together and put some peanuts between the two so if they push or pull it, it'll set it off
Caught four squirrels and three rats with that setup. Tried it with the dog on the most sensitive notch, but it went off prematurely and nailed the squirrel in the head. It managed to escape and was bleeding/injured :(. Use the middle notch for sure.
I haven't boiled any traps yet, but if it improves the function of the mechanism, I might give it a go. I get a little concerned when the trap gets really rusty, so I usually go ahead and sand it down and cover it with like a 20W oil and a little spray lubricant at the hinge.
I move snow at a propane distributing tank. inside of the fencing looks like a rabitt superhighway. I keep considering if I want to set up some conibears at the obvious entrance exit in the fencing they keep using. obviously the coyotes dont like the 6 foot tall fences so they just hang out and tease the dogs
+Southeast Mi Homestead I like to do that as well but I don't have a lot of time to hunt when it's cold out so I like to set traps and let them come to me.
Yep! It's a very traditional game meat for us Yanks, especially in Southern states. The meat is delicious and interchangeable with chicken for most recipes. Plus the hides are useful if you have the skills to flesh and tan them. Many also use the hides, untanned, as a training aid for their squirrel dogs.
@@Arcahnslight I'm from southern Western Australia we do similar with the Western Bandicoot, we get to males and fight them to the death, then eat the loser. That's been a tradition since colonial days, all the best om your squirrel hunting
Does trapping squirrel damage the meat in any way? I've not used traps, usually only shoot them when hunting. However, the trapping aspect intrigues me.
It usually breaks their necks or strangles them. Sometimes it is NOT quick....but that's the way it goes. I'm sick and tired of their endless destruction around my place.. Peanut butter has NEVER failed me, NEVER!
donny tyler you can buy a trap setter from any trap supply store. They look something like a big pair of pliers. I'm 63 with COPD and use the setters on bigger conibear traps.
I use a piece of carrot to smooth the peanut butter onto. It's easier. Make sure the piece is not too long, or it will prevent the trap from closing completely.
small trapping wire around the tree and over the top trap jaw against the tree. the rest of the trap will close still.. do it with 220 fisher traps all the time..
I use stale, hard marshmallows covered in peanut butter
Super simple, loved it. Subbed.👍👍
Simple, straight forward and I'll bet it works. Easy way to hold it on the tree. Thanks

Very nice video on set-up. Thank you for posting. I also like how you show the tabs closest to the ground.

Awesome stuff. Just got 3 problem squirrels with a 120
I got an opossum with a 110 conibear. It didn`t kill him though. Those guys are tough. Hope to get some squirrels.
Just stopping by to say I hope you had a good thanksgiving and congratulations on your weight loss to date a job well done keep up the great work.
Peanut butter on a stick. You would catch me!

The smell of industrial stink doesn't ward of critters?

+Randy J I would for sure
nice trap, nice update thx
+Permaculture Prepper Thank you for watching
That's a new way to get arrested
I usually just scope em out with the .22 but I might try your trap idea
+Southeast Mi Homestead I like to do that as well but I don't have a lot of time to hunt when it's cold out so I like to set traps and let them come to me.
What do you do eat them, I'm Australian and not sure why you would trap a squirrel in the woods

+Hoosier Hares & Homestead I have not had a problem but I would not use anything bigger then the #110. Thanks for watching

@@kennyc388 this is why a 120 is the best most humane way trap a gray or rabbit ,, a 120 kills stone dead ,, a 110 has to catch it just right
Cool man, how many did you set in total?.................J
+jnull0 I set six in total, Just doing a little prospecting. If they do good I will set at least a dozen.
Rat traps work too.
Why die your traps?
wayne, i am 68 and a littl doen in teh poo[,not too strong, how in the hell do u set t I can barely open itl

How mach
What do mean "peanut butter with a stick"? Why can't you show us how to bait the trap so we know what you mean by the "stick"?

get rid of the stupid Music so we can understand what you are saying !!!
Have you ever been able to set the trap without nails in the tree. If I'm hunting on public land, nails might be frowned :-( upon.
I've never tried it but I am sure there is a way.
Maybe use small thin string and hoist it somehow?
small trapping wire around the tree and over the top trap jaw against the tree. the rest of the trap will close still.. do it with 220 fisher traps all the time..
make sure u wire it like an X or the trap will move
Maybe zip ties
Do you eat the squirrel ?
Why do you trap them?
Seriously.
