Tried the apples, lettuce, beans, broccoli, etc etc etc ! Bagged a couple young-uns over the years, but the seasoned critters always eluded capture ! Finally baited with the tips of pruned secondaries and they couldn't resist the tender new growth ! I know it's early for pruning, but consider taking a couple secondaries to thin out the plant. Duff

just a note if you plan to relocate your trapped critter in many states it's illeagle to transport ''nusence animals " and if stopped by police while the animal is in a trap in your car there could be a fine at least $200 in n.y. state so you might want to end the pests life and save yourself some money

I use a Have a Heart cage to catch em ( Granny Smiths Apples do the job , wash them and wear gloves to cut down on the human scent when cutting the apples and baiting the trap), but for some reason I lose my heart and feed the critters lead.

While I fool around with traps they keep running into lead. Fine for shooting in the village is $100.00 and much more for messing with transporting wildlife if caught. They make good compost by fall.

Nice thing about it here whistle pigs start showing up end of June. Ties in nicely with the fourth of July. Keep a couple of crackers handy for the second and third or so shots if I feel the need for a little diversion, for the neighbors..

the reason why i put that post about the fine is that some people i know that spend their summers in the catskill mountains didn't want to kill the chucks that were eating their flowers and veggies got caught releasing a chuck and were gven a ticket and had to apear in court the fine $200 for being gentle hearted around my place i believe in the Iseeem rule if i see 'em i shoot 'em
