Proper use of 3/4" Foothold Mouse Trap

[@murunbuchstanzangur]

Shaun woods needs one of these on mousetrap Mondays...

[@dmithsmith5880]

How much you getting for the pelts ? LMAO

[@maddawg5016]

Ok I was thinking 5 bucks for my mouse

[@dragon_slayor7971]

I sell pelts

[@PennsyltuckyTrapper]

Hilarious! Such attention to detail and a SLOW MOTION CAPTURE?! This video is an instant classic for all trapper enthusiasts. Very cool!

[@FPSoutback]

$23.50 for gold, $13 for silver. These are not meant to be "mouse traps" just a novelty present/keychain and the price reflects that. I pretended they were mouse traps for the vid, but they do work for that purpose very well ;)

Can I get the link to buy them

That tiny trap would be great for catching 'The Borrowers.'

[@eclecticadventurer]

David Curry i havent seen that movie in forever

[@The2FRANKGRIMES]

It started off as a TV series.

[@eclecticadventurer]

The cartoon?

[@The2FRANKGRIMES]

No it was live action. When I was a kid I went to a borrowers studio where everything was giant size.

[@eclecticadventurer]

Oh. Yeah i remember the show "the littles" (cartoon) on CBS growing up and then the borrowers (live action) came out when i was in highschool

[@heshewombow2000]

okay you guys keep talking about cutting his nails and that they are dirty BUT HOW CAN HE DO THAT WITH ONE HAND LEAVE HIM ALONE

[@mattstarr8203]

wow you're very observant

[@nov284]

I'm actually pretty sure that they're considered novelty traps. I don't think the manufacturer ever seriously thought anyone would actually catch anything with one! You've inspired me to buy one and try it out next time I have a mouse.

[@puffdragon26]

Long chaining mice with a gold double long spring. nice. set it up on a drowning cable.

[@nolantanaka5164]

Dude I love these traps! They're so fun to play with! You can stick your finger in it and not get hurt! :)

[@nate-408]

Hahaha he had a little faint! Too funny bud. Thanks for the laugh.

[@1Epicdoom]

very cool that it actually worked and held the mouse

[@Targetpopper]

I was not aware they made traps this small that functioned. I'm gonna have to pick up a couple. run a 3 foot trap line in the barn!

[@XTHEPREDATORX]

HOLY CRAP! I didnt think it would actually work. And to everyone that thinks this is so damn cruel, this is actually an extremely humane way of catching a mouse. It doesnt kill them like a snap trap or poison. Like a glue trap, they can be released from this, but with glue, they will rip fur and skin off in their struggle, very sad. This trap just freaks them out, but allows you to catch them and release them with minimal damage (may cause bruising, but should be fine).

[@sparkyjones560]

FYI people there are laws governing foothold traps in some states. the laws don't differentiate between mouse size dog size or bear size, hence the need to coat the catch in something rubberized. it's more so the trap catch doesn't get rusty and sit out like a landmine to blood poison a hiker.

[@grantgilbert5172]

I knew the internet wouldn’t disappoint me! I have one on my desk at work as my complaint button. I was wandering if it could actually hold a mouse.

[@JamesComstockCages]

Always thought about doing that. Figured it could be done. Never took the time. Lot of work in it, but you got him, on video too, super! You da man.

[@akoutdoorsman6712]

those little traps are badass. i would be willing to by them just to put them in my christmas tree

[@Biglandtrapper]

That's just like the traps we use up here in Labrador to catch Mosquitoes ....lol

[@RANDOMLETTERS1111]

I love how you have to pad the jaws on foothold traps for use on mice but those old ones with a wooden base are ok with no padding and they snap right onto the mouse's neck and hurt or even kill the mouse whereas the other one just holds it until you let it free. By the way great video.

[@jcotteri]

I have found glue traps to be the best, you can catch a whole family as they get drawn by the noise they make and they get stuck as well. None the less this is an effective trap!

[@bobjimenez4464]

cool little traps are cute as hell. do they make smaller sizes like for houseflies?

[@TheChefMaggie]

Bob Jimenez that'd be cool

[@rondust1]

This cracks me up. Trapping Lepricorns now.

[@michaelledford4751]

That little bear trap is bad ass ,I'd like to get 3 dozen and leave them on my son's bedroom floor to get his ass back for the shit he's pulled on my over 30 years.

[@sexybeast6567]

We use those here in Oregon to catch the mosquitoes when camping on the Rogue River...

[@exodous02]

Those are cool. Are they really used as traps or are they key chains? A little too much work for mice though, but still cool.

[@sixfivecreedmoor]

Just a little note here for you - roll /rotate both of those springs 90 degrees and toward the side which has the dog - the flat 'triggering bar' that works in conjunction with the pan and that holds the jaw(s) down) after the trap is set - and this will allow the other jaw to lay much flatter - at least as flat as the jaw being held down under the dog. The instant explanation here surely lacks in good, easy to follow info, and thus will just as surely confuse the hell out of most readers, so I apologize for that now. That said and to further clarify a bit, rolling both long springs properly (at right angles to the jaws and toward the side holding the dog) will result in the set trap not being laid out straight as shown here, but instead will generally configure it into a "u" shape with the opening of the "u" open and facing toward the dog side of the trap. I wish I could add a simple image to this, as it would make it VERY easy to both explain and understand!

[@PennsyltuckyTrapper]

+Vernon Phillips Well said :)

[@Thelothuo]

+Pennsyltucky Trapper Made sense to me. Turning the springs shifts the slight angle of the springs' top hole to allow the far jaw to be lower. Depends more on how exactly the spring sits, though. Some springs may be angled down toward the jaw hinges, while some may be angled up or not at all.

[@FPSoutback]

I'd never heard of them actually, now I'll have to get one to see what its all about.

[@Poodleinacan]

Nice catch!

[@libalj]

This is really neat but what do you do with them once you catch them? The options I see are hit it with a hammer or get bit trying to free it. Letting it go would not be an option as all invasive species on my land get the death penalty.

[@lotsofmink]

he was trapping sub polar bears in anartica and got his hand caught in a bear trap and then he climbed back on the horse as a mouse trapper cheers mate

[@freecheese4143]

This is more humane. You can release them. Unless you are a fur trapper. Then your can make beautiful coats, gloves, and hats from these.

[@joshgannon932]

This is hilarious! When we used to go to Trapping conventions we the bought these little "Traps" . Except they aren't really Traps....lmfao! THEY ARE KEY CHAINS! Mouse traps.......lmfao! hahaaaaaaa! Oh....god....that was a funny video!

[@Rusted1859]

funny shit cant believe people think this isnt a joke lmao

[@nwbopop1217]

I thought you were pulling my leg with your little trap, i did not think it was real till i saw it on the mouse.

[@Thelothuo]

+NH Bopop He noted in a reply to another commenter that it apparently isn't a mousetrap, but a novelty keychain. That happens to work. On mice. Which explains the gold/chrome plating. Legs have been pulled. I think. Does this count?

[@theoriginalwah]

I don't know where I got it but I had one of those about 15 years ago, I thought it was just a novelty, didn't think for a second you could actually catch something in it. That was awesome, you make good vids dude. So you had that shipped from the states??

[@shaneDfan1234]

THOSE NAILS DOE !

[@johnh.6399]

Ok, now that you have "humanely" caught a mouse. How do you "humanely" let it go without​ getting bit? Or do you "humanely" kill it some other way?

I've seen these traps before. they are just for novelty. I think I saw them sold as " mosquito traps". but cool of you to try them out anyway. seems they work great. thanks.

[@Spudwellington]

awesome! these are without a doubt going in my outdoor survival kit. thanks bud!

[@grizwoldstad9956]

As a youth I ran a trapline, Imoved away from the leg hold to the conabear body crush trap. I don't like to see any animal suffer anymore than is totally necessary. I Hunt mostly bpw range with firearms making headshots safe and reliable, no prolonged wait for the animal to expire. The mosquito trap you used is great but not practical in an outdoor setting, I lost bigger traps when birds of prey found my victims stuggling to escape. Body crushers no struggle no attracting unwanted diners. Can't begin to grasp the terror that a leghold device inflicts, not to mention pain. to be tied in place and offered up as dinner without the ability to escape or to fight. No dead is better.

[@aombowens3356]

That is a great instruction video!!!!! Can you please let me know...from where i can buy this item?? Hope to hear from you!

I got one of these but it does not work. Yours in the video shows Smooth action of the trap. If i open the jaws, the action is so rough and tight, the jaws will not close.

One good use of this trap, it doesn't matter of a leg is broke when you feed it to a snake

NOW! Scale it up--or down--to bring down some FERAL CATS!

[@corkdecoys1]

Had something similar when I was a kid except it was a single long spring mosquito trap. Spent at least a day tryin to get one to land on it. Should'a tried for mouse!

[@t.g_buffington]

Lol. I fur trap. But you need to try to make a coil spring one of these

[@FPSoutback]

@theoriginalwah Yeh google mintrapprod, they will send you them and are good to deal with. They are much stronger built then the "mosquito traps" though are still meant as a novelty. This vid was meant as a joke but was said so dry and matter of fact that it didn't come off that way, not to mention they do actually catch mice as it turned out :p

[@KennethMixson]

That is the smallest double sprung steel trap I have ever seen. I didn't know they made them that small. I could use that as a key chain.

[@mikegemcity26]

Woah was not expecting that mean left

[@nobat6351]

Can I use it as a keychain??

[@fantabulousK]

I'm trying to look at this from both sides, but I'm inclined to agree with Edward1131. A mouse with a broken leg will die if released, so you can't do that. And if you kill it, there would be no point in using these as appose to a two dollar snap trap that breaks a mouse's neck. But release is the only reason I can think of to use a live trap, so I'm confused as to why you did this. Were you just wondering if these traps would work? I hope you put the poor thing out of its misery after..

[@PlugginGunnin]

What’s the point in using this they suffer just use a snap trap way easier and more effective plus no suffering

[@503Gerry]

This is definitely more human than those sticky pads. Mouse crawls onto it, gets it's paws stuck, then it's fur, and it just stays there until it dyes of starvation or dehydration. That is the epitome of cruel traps.
