coydog33 coydog33 trapper Registered: 01/21/08 Posts: 98 Loc: michigan	I would like to try making mouse bait anyone willing to give thier recipe. Since mice are a main food for yotes and fox it makes sense to use them as bait. Opposum skinner has the secret but like many great outdoorsmen keeps it secret Edited by coydog33 (02/01/08 08:25 PM)

Jonathan Jonathan trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 1814 Loc: Northwestern New York	The wording of your question is a bit confusing. Do you have a collection of mice already that you want to make into a canine bait, or do you want a bait recipe to catch mice with so that you can harvest them to use for making a canine bait? Just curious. Jonathan

Creek Trapper Creek Trapper trapper Registered: 02/03/07 Posts: 1866 Loc: Eastern Kansas	hounded-Yes, snap traps. Possum skinner-How in the heck do you get those blasted plastic pans to work? I bought some and they don't work worth a beaver dam. The trigger is so slick on the plastic side and I continuously get snapped on my hand when I am just placing it down on the ground. If I do get it set the plastic pan is pretty much vertically straight up. Seriously, how the heck do you get them to work? I needed some more rat and mouse traps so I bought some regular metal pans but saw the plastic ones, and knew others have used them, so I picked more of them up. Guess what I have now---100% catch ratio on the metal pans and 0% on the plastic. Go figure. _________________________ I hate KU, leaky boots, poison ivy, ticks, cold feet, mosquitoes, KU, mud, wet socks, wasps and hornets, headaches, jammed fingers, and KU.

Rob906 Rob906 trapper Registered: 09/08/07 Posts: 510 Loc: Baraga County Mi	One thing is to bend the i guess it would be called dog. bend it in the middle a lil by pushing it towards the trap. On the rat traps i use for weasel i do that make make it so the trap only has to go down a lil to set it off and it makes the pan set a lil bit more level.

Creek Trapper Creek Trapper trapper Registered: 02/03/07 Posts: 1866 Loc: Eastern Kansas	Lol, I guess the problem was the "dog" seemed too short. To get it to actually stay, I would have to get the plastic pan almost straight up or the dog would just slip out and it would fire whenever it wanted to. Don't think I got a bad batch because I had bought some in the mouse size and rat size and they both had the same problems. I don't know, it was near the end of the day so I was probably already ticked off and had a short temper and fooling with that just burnt the fuse, lol. I'm probably just stupid. _________________________ I hate KU, leaky boots, poison ivy, ticks, cold feet, mosquitoes, KU, mud, wet socks, wasps and hornets, headaches, jammed fingers, and KU.
