Guys use a similar setup at their deer-hunting cabins.. works like a charm.. I think they use anti-freeze instead of water, for obvious reasons..

Any of you guys with barns put a five gallon can inside a haystack and then come back later to pull out a bucket-o-mice?

Yep. If you leave the water out the mice will stack up pretty high. Then you can put a lid on the bucket, take it to the house of the neighborhood a$$hole and dump it under his house. At least that is what I have been told. I would NEVER do anything that bad.

I built one just like that except I used a steel rod instead of wire and a plastic bottle. I put about 3" of lime in the bottem instead of water. The lime drys out the mice and they don't stink up my deer lease trailer. The mice that fall into the bucket turn into petrified mice pretty quick. Everybody else uses poison and they're always trying to find the dead mice in their trailers.

Yeah, the one I saw was made out of plastic pepsi bottle rather than a tuna can, but the result was the same. Dead mice. Cool idea!

You guys have wimpy mice. A fellow I know put one of those water traps in his cabin up by the Payette forest and came back two weeks later to find a diving board on the edge of the bucket and little tiny cabanas and lounge chairs all around it.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

I've tried a similar set up by just cutting the top off of a two liter coke bottle and filling with 4 inches of water. after a few days, they start using their dead buddies as rafts

Not the mice - the liquid under it.. Otherwise, in our northern WI temps, any water would freeze and they'd escape.. With anti-freeze, they're toast..
