For nice and rats in mouse traps and T-Rex traps... peanut butter. For have a heart traps....slice of apple and peanut butter on it.

Apparently cinnamon and Slim Jims are the trick for mice/rats!

submitted an order and pictures to https://digitaltaxidermy.com/ I assume it will be a few weeks before receiving my order

This is an important tip. If you know a gobbler is around and goes silent, he may be with hens. Try to call in one or more HENS and you will likely bring the gobbler in tow. If you see or hear hens, same thing. Try to call them to you - and if a gobbler is around, he'll follow the live hens in. It isn't always about calling to the gobbler - sometimes it is easier to attract a hen into your set, and where the girls go, the boys follow!

Yes. Go an hour or so before dusk and sit and listen. You’ll hear them cackle and cut before or as they fly up. Roost tend to be where they can fly down into an opening where they know it’s safe to land.

Thanks for the tip. Had trouble finding the roost, tried to hike around the area looking for it, but no sign. since the gobbles were around 6:15ish AM, is it safe to assume the roost must be somewhat close?

Like new Werner Ladder Stabilizer Bar, I used it once, my ladder climbing days are over! $50 I travel SJ, Upper DE, SEPA for easy meet up. No trades.

that fat f#ck is annoying as hell.

Derby in clinton happened already a week or 2 ago

That's crazy!!!

They are probably henned up. They gobble in the roost but once they fly down they stick with their hens. If you can roost one night before it will help and try to get within 75 yards. Few soft tree yelps in the morning let him know where your at and sit tight. If you hear hens best bet is to try and work her to you and she’ll bring the Tom along.

And in the house!!!

Got a real late start this year. So far I’m 0 for 2, & really hoping to bag my first ever bird before the end of the season. Heard gobbles early this morning but the Tom went silent on me, & I call it after a couple hours of minimal calling. I’m a beginner hunter, self learning the ropes, so if anyone has any advice about anything I’m in need. I hunt Zone 12.

My lawn is loaded with voles as well this spring! They do especially well, when there is snow cover like we had. I also finally got a good look and confirmed a RAT is living in the shrubbery by my front porch. Country- living I guess! I have a Screech Owl box I need to erect.

Hi my name is Kevin, I’m 25 years old, beginner hunter. No one in my family or friends have ever hunted, so it’s been a journey learning the ropes without any guidance. Though I’m quickly learning that nothing can replace just getting out there. Right now I’m most interested in Turkey hunting, & later this year duck. I got into this Turkey season real late, & have focused all my attention into Zone 12 (Monmouth County Area). Heard my first gobbles ever this morning, but he went silent on me after a call or two. Looking to make friends & learn!

So yesterday a kid from the hardware store called and asked me to cancel the online order for the smoker and said please pay in store, otherwise the store doesn't make anything on sale. Told me they'll take additional $50-$70 off. Well, the mgr said he should not have done that, since it was already discounted $200. So they gave me $40 off cover and free bag of pellets! 🤣

Welcome to NJ Woods & Water Nastra!

Then I have voles, I have seen them on the surface. A feral cat sits and waits for them watching their holes. About 4 years ago I caught about 18 of them. I put down grubex. I was told that will eliminate their food source. It seemed to work. I pulled 1 out of it's hole that was caught in a trap. The back half of the vole was eaten off. So they are cannibals.

But then you have snakes in your yard!

Amazing to watch. Great job.

Right you are....put out basically anything in bear Country, and these SOBs will show up fast

Never liked him!

Moles- stay underground. Eat worms and grubs. Voles -woll come to the surface. Eat roots of your favorite veggie plants.

Its a vole. I catch everyblack rat snake I can find and put them in my yard
