I decided to play around with a little trap making while I was out today!

Here is my main cutting tool today~



All my equipment to make this trap~



With Snicker ready to pay attention I set up the trap !



A close up of the trigger mechanism~



And a view from above showing the snare placement~



For the most part when I see signs of where a Squirrel feeds it is on fallen logs or tree stumps, the beauty of this trap is that it can be set up more or less anywhere. Today I set it up on a fallen tree and used my Thermos flask to represent the worlds heaviest Squirrel !!!

After playing with the trap I practiced my Fuzzy making with the Swampwarden~
