I don't know how many of you ordered Tim Phillips (aka Ohiobuyers) The secret sets that made me famous book and DVD, I did.

One set in perticular sparked my interest. The set consists of a 50lb bag of bird food. You bury the bag standing up and set five traps (in the shape of a star) right on top of the buried bag. Theory being once the mice find the food, the K'9's follow. Anyone ever try this set? Thanks in advance.

i dont know but 50 pounds of bird food is alot of bird food kinda exspensive

i dont know but 50 pounds of bird food is alot of bird food kinda exspensive

I thought so to. But the book says it should be "high quality" bird food. That's even more exspensive!

Sounds ridiculous actually

Are you saying the book and Dvd were a scam

Ive done the same thing, just less bird food, didnt work for me at all, But I altered the setup, put seed down and then just put several dirtholes in the area worked out better.

If 50 Lbs doesn't work try 100. I can't see me digging that big a hole to set a trap by. Why would you waste the time even if it does work.

It was in the "change up's" part of the book.

Screw the trash K9's and cats. I want to know if it will catch possums? That's the question.

I think if you wanted to catch possums you could just make a regular dirt hole!

wonder how it would work with 100 lbs bags of corn ... did he show any variations of the set?

Has he gotten rich off of his DVD like Jlord did? I hear Jlord moved to Beverlyhills with Movie Stars, swimming pool, etc,. LOL

For me that would be a change up. A hole the size of a 35 gal drum. I think you would be wasteing more then you were gaining. You can make a lot of differnt change ups much faster and easier. Try it out and let us know how it works.

sounds like filler info to make the book a book and not a pamflet(SP)

Did they have a # to call for this high quality bird food at the end of the video? If so then it all adds up.

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOIN?????I payed some big bucks for this info, now you come on T-man and give it away.tim is probley so mad he cant type.SOME of us want to learn all we can from the masters.now you come along and just willy nilly hand it out. FOR FREE. this info in the wrong hands, well there is know telling what could happen. THINK man THINK.

TTT

to much work!!

you cant do that using a STAR pattern, it HAS to be a trapezoid.

it will never work woth a star.

If it is the mice that you want to attract them there them why not just trap a mouse and us it. I can trap a lot more mice in a mouse trap and do it for much cheaper.

If I was going to use this set i would not use the star or trapezoid pattern...it would only work if you use 10 traps and make a circle around the bag......no gaps that is the secret to the whole thing....

It gets exspensive...especially when you pre-bait all summer

corns the filler

its ok gil...he still learning

you are correct charles...the star pattern only works on clear nights..

trapping is alot of work..it will pay off in the end

you sure are taken this good. cant beleave FFG just gave up one of your premo sets.

Stanley Hawbaker outlined putting mice in a tin travel cage in the back of cubby sets. The copy of his book I have is from the 1940's. (So the whole mice scent at your set idea has been around for a while!)

If you want to attract things with mice, use live mice or an electronic squeaker! You can also raise some of those .99 cent mice at the pet store and put their dirty cedar bedding in your dirt holes, or use them to scent your weasel boxes.

two words .... TYPICAL BUYER

gary, not everyone can catch hi dollar possum like you. Im stuck catchen junk, like rats and coon. I have even caught mink in my possum sets. it gets old.IM looken for an edge. the books and videos ohiobuyer puts out are a big help. then FFG starts given out my sets. whats a guy gona do?

another thing thats works really well is to bury and elephant,set 200 traps over it..this set has never failed me

a bull or cow. Im gona have to buy more traps.

have you ever used more than one elephant?

i suggest you start out with 1 bull elephant ,this set can get costly

yes but wouldnt mulitple sets produce multiple catches? ive also heard that it is recommended to dig the holes for the elephants by hand while in a hazmat suite, to keep scent to a minimum

yes,if you can afford 2 bull elephant and 400 traps,etc.etc..by all means go for it,but remember..MY Bull may not work for you

all I have is an old mop suite from the military.should I use my pro mask, so I dont breathe on the set? how many more traps?

dont worry donnie I have my own bull.

gil if you are trapping in mop 4 you are a better man then I!
(ok let's see how many people know what mop 4 is now) ;-)

great questions gil, so how bout it donnie? will this work? any info will be greatly appreciated !

diensthunds, I used to HATE nbc training it is one thing I do not miss about the military.

i never wear protection

I dont think you gotta worry.

lOL..i think you are right

just hacken on ya.

I'm so confused. Alot of good info in this thread. Ohio buyer don't be mad at me bud, I thought I could post questions about your set's on here! I'm sorry!
