Rabbit traps

[Purebred Redneck]

We got our first big snow a couple days ago so I got out 2 box traps.

Set them up last evening. This morning I looked and got one. I reset it and caught another this evening. My other trap got the apples stolen but didn't trip the trap.

so 66% catch rate is about right.

Got another one this evening and got another miss.

This rabbit gave me all sorts of problems. It was frickin cold and I couldn't feel anything. Well I opened the trap door slightly and stuck my arm in and I didn't know the door fell off entirely and there was space for the rabbit. This rabbit jumped up the trap and right up my arm and he was actually in mid air clear of the trap when I grabbed him by both hands as he scratched the hell out of my coat and shoved him back in the trap
He was feeling froggy which is why I close the garage door in case something like that happens.
