Anyone trap mice for bait? I put out 9 boxes today, I doubt I will get more than 1 because I am just using bread for bait in a weasel box by fallen trees, I only set 1 good spot, which should hopefully produce something, although I have caught quite a few there along with a few chipmunks. Hopefully I pick at least 1 up, I just do it for fun in the back woods.

I do trap them sometimes for bait and also to sell to guys who make bait..just another way for me to make some extra money for supplies and such!

How many do you usually take a year? I think I got about 8-10 last year plus a couple chipmunks out of about 4 boxes. I am only trapping when its cool out, otherwise they may spoil before I get to them to freeze them, so I trap them for about a month or two (not usually in the winter, they seem harder to get, but I got 2 this winter that were getting close to the house.

I got one today, in the spot I have always had good luck, and a mouse tail, it was an older trap so I will probably put a newer one in along with one that may have had a mouse in it, but dident snap the trap.

True, but if I set them in the summer I might not be able to get to them until later in the day/evening, I just do it to give me something to do in about 2 acres of woods.

Moved a couple to locations that have caught something or look a little better. I moved one across the fallen tree were my best location is and where I caught the mouse this morning. Hoping for 2, but would be good with 1, but I may end up with 0, I wont know until morning.

Caught one more mouse this morning, plus a snapped, moved, and empty mouse trap I set out as an extra. Todays mouse came from where all I caught was the tail yesterday, but this one had a tail, so hopefully there is many more.
