    Hmmm. Not sure how many of those you can get in a five gallon bucket trap..., lol.
    Seriously, at least your catching the critters! Nobody needs that kind of activity in the sugarhouse!!

    Less than one in a 5 gal bucket. They can really jump. One that I caught in a cage trap I thought it was going to tear up the gage ,,, after I shot it in the head!!!
