Some people live and learn but I mostly just live
never saw that before. way to go two at a time.
I see the bait is all gone, so there must be a smart mouse still running around. probably told his two brothers they could go first.
Head and shoulders? Full body mounts? Rugs?
Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
You got the memo about fur prices are down ,Right? Roll em tight and you can get a bunch in the freezer for next year!
Got two myself once. Reset the trap and still got another. Think there were only three.
I did the reverse. Got one last night the same size. About 3/4 grown. Probably litter mates.

Once got 5 or 6 on a glue trap in a night. I'd hear a rustle, go wack the newest member of the club in the head and replace the trap.
Thank God we don't have a mouse problem. We have a ground squirrel problem, wish I was as successful at catching those critters.
Winter here in Alabama they come to the house, barn and shop. Need a fur buyer the freezer is full and I need a place for deer meat!
Heck I know some Coonasses thats the only way they shoot deer - 2 at a time.
What is mouse fur bringing this year lol
Life is so much better with dogs!
Well! I got home from work and emptied my trap, reset it and about the time I sat down I heard it go off. Another double!
That makes 7 in the last couple days. All the same size, about 3/4 grown. How big are mouse litters?
The little woman doesn't like mice! She's not happy. Maybe she needs a new pair of mouse gloves.

Got three in the same trap in about two hours last week. Nothing since. Bait was cotton string soaked in sausage grease tied around trigger.

Lol, I don't think yer guna get a windfall from yer furs just yet.
If you think your a hammer everything looks like a nail.
Yes I'll think I'll have to keep working. At least thru another trapping season. Unless the price of mouse fur would go up.
How many mice does it take to make a ladies full length coat?

Some of my favorite recipes start out with a handful of depleted counterbalance devices.
The fur is not very prime either. I think it's too warm under the fridge. Bet the ones in the barn are haired up a lot better.

I bet they'd make comfortable slippers or house shoes.
I shot one with my 1911. Killed it dead, but man, did it ever ruin the hide.
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.
