Jarvis 277 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 At our shoot I have fenns in tunnels like the above photo to catch squirrels going to and from feeders and have great success with them set like this. I was checking them yesterday whilst feeding and noticed that I had caught a stoat in one. Also it was caught facing downwards which would suggest it had been trapped whilst coming down from the tree... has anyone experienced anything similar before...?

Not sure if you can see from this photo Ive zoomed in on but where the two wooden supports go across to keep the trap lined up I have knocked a nail into each corner to hold the trap up, nothing technical but it does the job!

The entrance holes have been narrowed so nobody can say I haven’t mitigated for no target species but this definitely isn’t a non target species! Quote Link to post
