I've been doing some cleaning and organizing in the barn. I keep turning up piles of chewed up acorns from the resident mice.
I figured if they are dragging them in to eat, why not bait a trap with one? I drilled a hole through one and wired it to the trigger. I set it last night and had one in the trap tonight. It will be interesting to see how many I can get with one baiting. I usually use cheese jammed into the hook on the trigger, but it dries up in a few days and I'm not real good at keeping it fresh.
