Rat Traps

You know, folks have told me rat traps are great survival traps to have on hand. Maybe I am just unlucky or maybe I use traps for more then one try. But every time I use wooden rat traps they fall apart or break after being out for a few days. I even tried the all plastic ones. The problem with those is they are too sensitive and caught mostly mice. Over and over again I test equipment. And over and over again I come up with the same results. The very best survival trap to own for small game is the #110 Conibear. What have I caught with this little trap? Wow, that is a long list. Lets see, rabbits, squirrels, muskrats, minks, skunks, fish, turtles, weasels, and even a frog once. Even after 32 years of trapping I am still amazed at how effective this little trap is. Folds up and fits in a coat pocket. weighs 12 ozs. If I had only 1 trap to carry for survival it would without a doubt be #110 Conibear.
Rabbit In The #110 Conibear Trap
They say a picture is worth a thousands words. I believe these pictures speak loud and clear the #110 conibear is a very effective trap. But for some reason most new comers can't figure out how to set it. That is why I put a step by picture outlay in my book "Buckshot's Complete Survival Trapping Guide" and this subject is covered thoroughly in Buckshot's Survival Trapping DVD.
Never Set A Trap Before. Took Buckshot's 2 Day Training Course. SUCCESS!!!
You know 1 trap that is just so effective and keeps working year after year. I have some that are 30 years old and they are still catching critters every year. There is nothing more effective for taking rabbits out of their den then the #110 conibear Trap. I test and re-test and re-try ideas. Every time I try those sure methods that people brag about I am disappointed. It is like survival is some type of game with rules. Sorry, when my life is on the line I am NOT playing games and I want the best possible tools I can carry. That is why I recommend Real Snares and Real Traps. WHY? Because they work. It is a proven system and with a little training most people can become very proficient in their use.
