Varmint Guy, I think you are talking about a Coon Cuff trap. I use them all the time and have 13 this year , 23 last yr and 18 the yr before. I trap them all season. They eat my strawberries, raspberries, and kill my chickens if they can. I hate them and wish we could improve the market for these rats. So many I shot 3 of them in the daytime this summer. Way too many when you see them in the daytime. I saw an improvement in the rabbit numbers too. Only bad thing is I have rats by the chicken coop and never had that before. Maybe they take care of the rats. Otherwise, they are useless.

But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23
