A tail of two mousetraps....

[VirginiaJim]

Hmmmmm raisins and peanut butter.   I'd have a hard time staying away from that trap.

I am getting some mental images of how that trap might snap on you and where.... shiver me timbers! (must poke out frontal lobes with pencil now)

Why settle for a mental image when the world is full of 'Hey watch this'......

What an idiot.  I think I'm at least smart enough to unarm the trap mechanism, first.

[B.D.F.]

You mean before you lick the bait off the trigger?

Yes and I would use a spoon.  At least I'm civilized..

Your spooning with a mousetrap?  Better double check the trap has been tripped

[Cold Streak]

Anyone ever top this?

Put out two more older mousetraps and baited all four tonight- temp. is going down to 7 F and I think they are going to take refuge anyplace they can....

The traps I have been using that are actually working eventually fail because the trigger will not trip the trap. I have some old ones that just will not trip even after the trigger is pressed all the way down. They work very well when new but not when they get old (sorta' like us humans' right?) and look like this:

Another one yesterday in the first trap. The mice are just not interested in that new- fangled trap I guess.

And now have caught several more.... all in the old- style trap. Nary a one of dem dare mouses has committed mousicide by having a snack at that new- fangled mousetrap. I guess the mice are either too smart or just too old- fashioned and won't go for the clearly newer, better and slicker mousetrap.

The plastic one with the teeth on the upper jaw works great though- I am still on the same bait and at least three mice down the road.... as it were.

You must be dealing with old school mice?

argggg
back in 82', while I was shooting tournament archery every weekend, spending almost 40 hours a week to excell at the endeavor, I was setting Victor Rat traps for my garage to protect my Z bike, about a half hour before leaving for a tournement. I set 3, was on the last one, applied the "set" on a baited trap; only to have one of the staples that held the center pivot bar the spring is wound around pull free from the wooden base. The wound spring has about an inch of "leg" on both ends, one end is against the wood, the other is against the looped bar. The spring end rotated, and struck the finger tip on my right hand middle finger, literally splitting my fingertip in half for about a half inch from the tip... sliced right thru the nail, like a Ninja sword.

it took about 5 seconds of me looking at this before my brain registered what happened, then instant nausea..... I freaked.
so much for baiting rat traps, I cleaned the wound, wrapped it all up, and travelled an hour and a half to the tournament. bummer.
Shot 7 points out of a perfect Vegas 450 point tourney, never got a penny.... and had to drive back in a blizzard with my pals who all choked, giving me the riot act on how I puked the game.... bastiches.

I hate rat traps.... mouse traps ok, them big ones will f you up if they let loose.

hey, ZG, Conrad, don't be dissing the mullet....
I am the Mullet KING
styles tend to come around, my hair has came around at least 3 times in my lifetime... still shooting for 4.....

by the way, I began my personal mullet, before it was ever defined as such, from this movie (my wife at the time was a hairdresser, and said "you might have something here..."


personally, I have stopped shearing the sides, and am letting them grow longer so's I can braid them, 'cause I always liked this style......




let's go pick a fight....

Hey now, isn't this guy one of the Crow clan from Justified?
