World’s Best Mousetrap

two mice caught by the same mousetrap

Disgusting, isn’t it? But it’s not as disgusting as finding mouse poop in your food, or on  your dishes in the cupboard.

This double catch was a surprise to me and actually made me smile, being the Great White Hunter that I am.

When I was a ranger in Meeteetse, Wyoming, I used to set traps in my cabin when I came in from 10 days in the Washakie Wilderness. I would hear “SNAP!” and get up and chuck the captured dead mouse out into the  bushes.

One night I caught 10 mice. What I could have done with this trap (slept better).

I still can’t believe I caught two at once. Send me an email or respond to this article, and I’ll tell you how I did it.
