That squish trap is a good idea. I'm going to attempt to set one up at my house.
I am all about killing mice. When living with my parents, I slept in the basement along with a family or two of mice. One time, we set a trap and when I checked in the morning I had caught two mice with one trap.....one mouse head on each corner of the trap. They looked like smaller, baby mice who were searching together.
Another time my dog (rot I adopted from the pound) killed one and left it in the (almost) empty water dish. She must have gotten mad that they were stealing her food......it was just dead sitting there....must have crushed it a little it.
But seriously, I'm going to get the glue traps to let those suckers suffer......I had one climb up a 5 foot tall plastic shelving unit (rubbermaid-type) and bite open a brand new 5 pound bag of EAS Vanilla Whey Protein Powder. I don't want to get germs so I"m gonna toss the whole bag.......$45 out the window. I would hope that each of you kill a mouse in the honor of my fallen protein powder.

Nice shooting there tex. At first I thought the thread was going to be about your pastimes of witting and rodent acupuncture. I hate mice/rats. I get them all the time. Thankfully the all seem to be intensly predictable 1 trap and they just keep walking into it.
Also, the figure 4 was sweet. You squished that mouse right out of the third dimension.
God bless,
Adam
PS: I just checked Guyon's inbox isn't working. Anyone who is rage quitting ESEE and trying to off a Junglas will just have to message me. I promise I'll consider passing the info to Guyon.

Note: jumpmonkey is a big fat liar, liar, pants on fire.
Nothing yet. Would you mind calling someone an idiot for me?

Why not just sell a couple of those butt ugly Beckers and buy the Junglas from a dealer?
I almost feel bad for kicking at the hornets nest, but then again maybe it was all part of my plan to buy some knives from cry babies. lol

No hurt feelings here and I think it's pretty sweet you killed a rat wit a blowgun - they are fun and rediculously accurate to hunt with - I used to get squirrels with them all the time years ago...
We just don't see eye-to-eye on how shooting something after you've already killed it is "fun." Simple
Again, Im a hunter so it's got not a thing to do with killing things.

Really? Someone is bitching about killing a mouse with a blow gun? Because traditional mouse traps are that much better?
I don't know why I'm surprised, I've run across idiots like this everywhere else, why not on BF?

We've had problems with squirrels getting into our barn and making a mess of our hay and grain stores.They nest in the bales of hay and the animals won't eat them.At 2.00$ a bale that shit ain't gonna fly.So I set to cleaning out the culprits.I didn't use a gun or a bow OR a blowgun I used a paintball gun. A .68 cal tippmann 98 custom with a flatline sniper barrel.I chose this for one simple reason.My animals safety.If I missed with a conventional firearm I could wound and or kill one of my Llamas.The paintball gun would mark them orange and they'd be mad at me for a day or so.
After about 6-7 shots I finally ranged the squirrel in.My last shot was a headshot that sent it spinning off the fence.I took my .22 over to finish the job only to find that it was stone dead.It didn't even twitch.My paintball gun is now my go-to barn gun for varmints.

I hate killing mice. One time when I was a young kid we found a mouse that was dying from poisoning or disease out in the middle of the driveway. We decided to "put it out of its misery" with a large nail and a hammer. I drove the nail down through its head and it was so sickening I started throwing up on the spot.
Flash forward several years. There's a mouse in the middle of the kitchen, and I decide, "Well, I'm not going to leave some disease or poisoned mouse around for my cats to eat," and decide that I will kill it with the fry skillet since that should just squish it--it was one of those big 1/4" thick skillets that grandmother's have up in their attics from before WWII.
So a few moments later the mouse is dead, and I'm grabbing some rubber gloves to dispose of the thing. I lift the skillet up, am holding it in one hand, when I start to peel the mouse up by the tail and my friend comes in, looks at pan in one hand and the dead mouse in the other and quick as a whip says, "Man, I'm not eating that for dinner."
But, yeah, screw mice. I was staying in a garage for a little while the last couple of months and sometimes would peg them with a BB gun as they ran across some of the exposed rafters. It's not really fun to deal with them, but I'd rather shoot them than have them get into some poison and get my cats sick from secondary poisoning, or chew through some wires, or worse yet just poop all over the place and put some Hanta virus into the air.
