the rez trapper switcheroo

[@EdOfTheNorth]

Your can setup is called a Whiskey Jack or Raven set. Works great to catch birds. They smell the bait, land on the jaws of the trap and lean down through the jaws tripping the trigger to get to the bait in the can. Martin don't like climbing down to investigate anything and they are nervous about holes where the one end is closed. That is why the box works best with both ends open but one end screened so the martin can see light through the trap but have to go through the trap to get to the bait. The darkness inside the box helps hide the trigger as well as long as the trap is inserted well into the slots in the sides of the box. Later.

I'm sure Robert wont respond or try your suggestions 🤔

[@ianj.perreault5392]

Yeah, the marten are going to try fit thru that opening between the trap and coffee can, space is too big, he should have the trap touching the can, right up against it so there is no space! Going to have bad catches like that also!

Mahsi’ Choh for sharing your trapping adventures!

I cut notches in the can in the four corners where the 110 sets and one notch for the spring. Cut the notches right and friction will hold the 110 firmly in place. I hang the can upside down and wire the bait with mechanics wire drive a hole in the top of can and pull the bait inside the can with the wire. By doing this upside down you will not catch birds. I hang these on trees with lots of branches to hide them from the birds. Wire your chain to a large branch and your done. The set will work all winter.

...ahh brings back memories...I never felt the cold when I was young...did everything walking....

[@jamesglenn2006]

Wow Robert you sure couldn't hear the wind but man it was affecting your hammer. 🤣 Hopefully your new trap idea makes a cleaner quicker death. ✌🤞 You're awesome Robert 👍

[@minktrappingpaddy]

Be interesting to see if the cans work out

[@1digitalwatcher697]

Robert id love to go on the trapline with you.

[@evieuretsky9997]

LOL I said the same thing just before you said windy. Theres another one my grandpa used to say, the marks along the nail is Pkr tracks. Hope you have a great day.

[@danellsworth9043]

Hope you are putting drain holes in the cans

[@JimHenderson70]

Coffee can set should work ,,,,, I’ve caught a ton of marten with my bait wired to the bottom of flower pots . Keep going and going ,,, you are off to a great start this year ... 👍

[@davidg813]

Put those tools like your machete and x and Hammer in your trailer sled and you'll always have them

[@ItsMe-wm4mc]

I think you may need to drill weep holes in bottom of can so the stinky fish wafts down to ground where you're fur is.

[@kevinemard5370]

Fencing staples (u nails) i had to laugh at myself today i went to check my trail cams and found out i had forgot to turn two of them on so no pictures on those ones

[@jimhamilton213]

You should drill a hole in your cans to drain any liquids.

[@janmichaeltaylor7063]

I got to try that u nail trick

[@deadpinecollective]

Awesome

[@croydbay]

shud ave gone to specsavers

[@bullwinkled790]

Tough nail- haha

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

I’m really excited to see how your pan works out however, I’m not very confident that the coffee can s on the trees will work for you. If they were open on the bottom and wired on the top opening I would have more faith in th3m catching you fur. Good luck.👍👍👍✌🏻😎

[@edgarbumblefoot7467]

Looks good, that should help to get a quick kill.

[@kamiskenaw4340]
