First rat of the year. I'm not looking for praise. But I am saying keep your eye open. I caught this guy in my shovel trap. Seen him going across the slough. I couldn't find his exit hole. But I found him.
Hahaha More of a spade trap. You could go with a cheaper model but you may risk splitting the trap handle. So... It is a trade off. My dad asked me why bother? I said to him would you not run down the street to hit a 5 dollar bill right in laurier's head with a shovel and pick it up?
