Diagram?

Snap-E is a great trap takeuchi - peanut butter is pretty good but IMO - Goodnature possum paste is the best rat bait I have used and I have tried a few - but GN have new lures now for rats - one is chocolate flavoured so that may be good
One great aspect of the Snap-E trap is you can hair trigger it - when setting it - carefully set the foot plate lower and lower until it just holds - blow on it and it will trip - no mouse will walk over that
I often get rats and hogs that are clipped by the kill bar and thrown clear - dead in the trap or a metre away - both are fine

Sean - you are doing some great work on everything you touch - it would be great to go for a walk with you one day - it would also be interesting to hear some more about your huntstand app - looks like it might be useful for record keeping - I found a fenn last week that I hung in a tree with a hog about a year ago
