As the corn is hard now
The coon are not interested in it anymore
So I have only caught 2 in the last 10 days and both were young of the year
But at 2 dog proof traps
The marshmellows have started disapearing , including those in the trap
Tired of donating to the critters
So I decided to mix it up
I figured I had a smart coon
So I dug in 2 #2 leg hold traps next to each of the 2 dog proof traps that were losing the marshmellows
I set the pans with a hair trigger
Nothing the first night
But today , dad left me a message
He was laughing
It seems I caught a mouse in 1 of the #2 leg hold traps
I know the traps were set to go off with real lite pressure on the pan
But even a large mouse isn't very heavy
So I was super lucky
On a side note
Project coon carnage is probely over for a while
I will put out the deer feeder and hang the last stands this week end
