what are you trying to trap ? which havahart do you have ?

if chipmunks the mesh has to be very fine.

got it because we have a lot of the critters around.

works well. so far have caught 7 in two days trapping.

only problem is that "they" say to release 5 miles away.

i am trying 2 miles across 2 streams and pretty dense woods.

row yellow

breezy, so boat change was good idea.

leg work

clubs

stretch

wood

doing the wood about 10 wheelbarrow loads a session.

so much to stack

so little to burn.

I have a “kitty door” in the window for Alex, well she brought a chipmunk in and let it loose.... Lil’ shit caught the first one but 2?days later ah brought another one in....so I’ve been trying to get it. I haven’t smelled anything yet so it either got out or they got it and I just didn’t find the gut sac.

Never a dull moment.

I borrowed one from a neighbor, not sure exact type it is.

the good news is the chipmunks don't live inside buildings as a rule.

havahart has two traps that take and hold chipmunks. the mesh has to be small or the beastie will just walk out the side of the trap.

i set the trap when i go pre dawn to row.

so far taking two a day.

releasing them 2 miles away across two streams and multiple roads with dense woods.

"they" say i should take them 5 miles away.

"they" say that catch and release survival is low.

i say at least they have a chance. the alternative is i shoot them.

we are infested with the things.

row red

lots of yard work

knees on fire.

Yea we have a bunch as well. Last year we had a lot but then we had a ton of rain and many got drowned out.

No working out but lots of work.

One day maybe I’ll have my life back.

[fish]

still catching them. we live in the woods, so there will always be some.

want to get the ones who have already learned about bird feeders.

i listen to spanish language lessons on my drive to and from the lake.

my listening skills are improving to the point that i can watch and understand movies in spanish pretty well.

latest is "Avatar", a nikelodeon production from 05. i get almost all of it.

have not caught a chipmunk for two days.

perhaps the plague has passed.
