Well done. I built the same trap out of an old dog cage I bought from kijiji for $5. I have a raccoon problem and my store bought traps let more go than caught. This trap was the answer.

Hey Black Trapper. Thank you so much for posting this good build video! We've lost great 2 roosters, who were trying to do their jobs protecting the flock, and about 5 five hens over the last 6 months. Finally got a video of the predator, a large bobcat! We have a 6 ft fence around our entire property, then a 5 ft fence around the chicken yard. This cat is coming in the late afternoon (daylight---as that is when our chickens are out--our coops are predator proof) and there is no pattern of when the cat is coming in. I've waited many times with my shotgun hoping to see the cat. Now, with your video, I'm making my own traps (3) at the various locations this cat has come in. I can't wait to catch this cat! Again, thank you for your video!!!

Fantastic job , i built one out of wood because i didn't have metal or welder. I put the trigger plate further back and the first thing i caught was a big dog. Then i caught a raccoon . The design works great.

Nice job, i've made a few of these traps and they work well, I do like my pan a little further in, my trail cams has showed a couple bobcat getting out before the door got low enough to block him in. They are super fast. I then put my pan a little more towards the back and have not had no more trouble. Love your videos, just subscribed

The most effective way to to dispose of grey squirrels IN MY YARD is the Havahart model # 1083 EZ-set, 1 door trap. I don't have the time or energy to be making home made traps by hand. I have used the Havahart EZ-set # 1083 to dispose of 360 grey squirrels since June 2014. The 1-door EZ-set traps save me time in 3 different ways: 1) They are much easier and faster to set than 2 door traps. 2) they are also much easier to bait because you just put the bait behind the trigger plate, instead of trying to balance the bait on top of the trigger plate. I have had the 1030 go off in my hand while I was walking with it. Very annoying. 3) I don't have any false alarms any more because the 1083 is NEVER set off by small birds. It takes a 1 pound animal to set off the 1083 and almost all grey squirrels weigh at least 1 pound. That is important if you are not home to keep checking your traps. You will never catch a squirrel, if the trap is closed for hours with a small bird inside. I used to use a 1030 for grey squirrels but since I bought 2 of the EZ set traps I stopped using the older model trap. Every squirrel that I dispose of is 1 less squirrel that will ravage my garden of tomatoes and my bird feeders. I take them all to the exact same spot in the nearby woods and allow scavengers like possums to have the carcass. Win-Win Possums are unfairly maligned by many people simply because of the way they look Home Depot and Lowes do not stock the 1083 but I was able to get them online for about $35 via Amazon WRZ 2020-08-14 Chester County, PA

Use extreme caution when trying to weld galvanized metal. It will emit fumes which are toxic, and lead to galvanize poisoning.

trapper== I don't understand why the trigger is tripped by stepping on, the animal is going after the bait , so make it trip when they try to get the bait.my design is to me the best that's made. an animal will always pull the bait to him.so my design is when they grab the bait you've got him
@TheBlackTrapper3 жыл бұрын
Intresting question. Understand this, not all animals are hard charging completely in to get the bait . Run a trail camera and you'll see you have many animals go in on part way and for some reason or another simply won't go after the bait.and back out Possibly they changed their mind possibly something spooked them possibly they just decided a pice of meat they sitting there dosent seem quite right. If your bait is the trigger your relaying on that bite and pull sequence to make that catch.Many animals arnt starving and need to eat everything to the point they will not turn down a free meal if it's something they don't like. With a foot tredel before my bait I just need him to come in 12-3/4 of the way in. Just need him to be curious enough to investigate. If their hard charging to get the bait their stepping on that pan if their just sniffing their stepping on the pan. Heck you can just ball up some grass with some feathers and toss it in the back to make it look like another animals kill. Their not going to try and take it after they realize what it really is but by the time their close enough in that trap to investigate, theirs paws on or over that pan.
