Gardening

Put some peanut butter on the pan of the trap.

Put some whole peanuts in the shell (unsalted) onto the peanut butter. Put some peanuts
And or some melon behind the pan. Collard Greens are good too.

Soak a little anise or almond extract or vanilla on a rag and put the rag on top of the trap.

Spread some birdseed…. With sunflower seeds and nuts in the front of trap and in front of the
door to the trap.

Cover trap with bath towel that has been left outside … less human smell. Weight towel down.

Set trap. Make sure the trap can be triggered. A little WD 40 or white grease on the trigger.
Put a drop of anise or vanilla on the lubricated area. Smell is important or lack there of when
doing this.

Close trap at dark. Less raccoons, opossums, and skunks.

Reset trap in early morning.

Once a wood chuck aka ground hog aka “Ohio Road Panther” has been finding food in
an area he/she will keep coming back.

A .22 sub sonic round is a good thing …. No loud crack sound when the bullet goes faster
than 1200 feet per second… aka speed of sound. The slug is made to break into 3 pieces
and puts the animal down faster. Gotta get them at a gun store/outdoor store. Very right
wing country.

Big ground hogs did not get to be big by being dumb.

Do not relocate the animal. Check trap often.
