For whatever reason, I'm unable to post photos here.
It lets me get all the way to the end, then says
" UNABLE TO POST something-something TOO
MANY MEGA SOMETHING OR BYTES" or
some kinda dung like that

Your tongs should be notched and the notches on
the inside squeezy side
You grab the eyes of the spring and compress it
and any larger BG traps should have a safety catch
like a bent wire or strip of metal. you hook that
over to hold the spring compressed while you are
setting the dog and trigger wires, or if it's a double
spring trap, you compress the other spring and set
the safety

I have some 110’s coming, can’t wait to try them. I keep catching coons in my live trap. I guess I’ll eradicate them too.

Small possum ( 8-9inch body) in the squirrel set
with a #110 today. One less to clean up after, but
still needing another squirrel for stew making.
Possums go in the "dust bin"
If things continue down the same road in this
country, I may be filling freezer bags with possum

A 110 is rather small for a coon
They can fight a trap pretty hard.
More than you would think they can.

Ranger99;

I finally have my trap figured out!

Got it set with marshmallows for bait, and have it in my shed.

Caught a rat in my Victor rat trap last night!

I used peanut butter with marshmallows stuck on top for bait.

Got one squirrel this AM with my 22.

It made the fatal mistake of hanging around my bird feeder.

So, TWO dead "vermin" this AM! (GRIN!)

Got a vehicle wire chewers off the top of the right front tire the other day !
Hatsan 22 caliber pellet gun works great.
Shot another off the neighbors flower pot on their front porch.
Found blood, and followed it to a hole under their back deck.

I dispatch a cat squirrel this morning at my bird feeders. 22 lr to the head does wonders. Would love to try the 110’s but with my luck I’d kill one of my woodpeckers.

All you people that are killing these squirrels, do you eat them or just throw them away? To me a squirrel is the number one meat source in flavor. I eat everyone I kill.

As long as I got money in my pocket, I ain't eating them. Especially city squirrels. God only knows what the have been eating and chewing on.

Live trapped and kept and fed for a month or so possum is not bad meat although it is very greasy.

What are you using for bait in your tube trap? I have it mounted to a old 2x6 and I'm using peanut butter and nuts. i can't get them to go into that thing for love nor money no matter where I put it.

Same thing country squirrels eat and chew on.

Much greasier than pork for sure. And not a lot of meat on the carcass.

110 conibear with whatever bait is natural for the AO, in these cases it was a walnut wedged in the forks of the trigger.

Pecans here. Sometimes the #110 just holds them and
finish with a pellet gun.

Only one out of hundreds trapped that I've ever had to "finish", had been caught by the arm only. Squirrel gets its head, neck or body inside a 110 and it's DRT.
