Thanks for saying what I was thinking Saw. I might have used a knife. Haven’t used a Senko yet. Does it matter which end?

What encourages them to go into the trap if you don’t provide bait?…🐟on
I don’t bait because I am not trying to attract them and I apparently don’t need to. At the beginning I used a piece of tim foil wrapped chocolate taped to the trip lever. I found the trap empty and the wrapper on top of the trap. Then I taped the chocolate under the trip lever. That worked to get them out of the house. It had been vacant 5 years. Now I just set the trap along the house and they get caught.
Bye little fella!

Wow!!! that's a lot. Once in a while I catch a packrat; they're a real problem too.

Wood Rat same as Pack Rat. Named that way because their nests are full of collected human objects. Know to spit out food to carry a shiny object back to their nest. Shell casings, lids, jewelry, bottle caps, etc. Before I got them out of the house they dragged a small rug into a hole. Rescued the rug and fixed the hold.

Nice catch. Don’t need a boat. Drift the shoreline path. Pretty cool.

I know, I know, we all want both! But if you could choose, which would you take?
Would you rather be out on the water and catch about 15 fish in the 1-3lb category?
Or, catch 3 fish with a 5-8lb fish mixed in?

I’ll take one monster in a day over a bucketful of small. But I am okay as long as I’m not skunked. Don’t like the skunk.

Probably should have started this discussion in the attic Ben. I completely understand.

We have Wood Rats in the Missouri Ozarks. I have an unbated Haveaheart
trap sitting outside along the house on the lower level. I have caught 52 in six years. I don’t have much of a heart after they are caught. Keeps them out of the house.

There's a place down here called Tuckertown dam that the water is heated year round through turbines in NC it can be dead of winter and fishing is like Summer time year round. But is deadly rocks on land and on water. Good luck on future trips and be safe.
Thanks, mine freezes up. It would be deadly in the winter.

One heck of an adventure anywhere but 100 yards from your house is awesome!
Real close and wild. About as wild as Missouri gets. Need enough water flowing to bring the fish upstream. But not too much water. In the spring and fall there is five feet of water going over the dam at time. Pontoons, canoes and john boats. I keep asking people if they know what a rope is.
Sunday was perfect. Just the right amount of water. Just a few snakes. I’m not suffering from chiggers or tics.
There is my pontoon. Can’t see the house. Camouflaged color and trees coming through the deck. Pinch myself everyday.

Thanks for your responses. I will carefully share with those I know will respectfully fish such a great pristine spot. As it warms up I’ll have to battle the chiggers and tics. It will still be worth it.
Nothing like taking a fellow fisherman into a new territory and having a day like that.
