Appreciate your video. We have a serious groundhog problem with them undermining our concrete drive and the shed floor. We bought conibear traps and got 3 in the first 24 hours. Your help is much appreciated.
A+ thanks to this video i was able buy 2 traps identical to ones in video and catch these groundhogs living under my shed..NOTE for those buying same trap dont forget buy the tool to press the springs down to put the safetys on its sold separately and really hard to set without it.
I had a pest company come out because the critters were getting out of hand. That company charged a crazy amount. I am 70 and trying to live off my social security, which is under 900 a month. That company caught a raccoon and armadillo but they never caught the groundhogs which was the reason I called them in the first place. The groundhog had babies so now there are three living under my house and creating treacherous spots in my yard that have caused me to stumble. I can't afford the pest company again, so I ordered two cage traps from Amazon. I looked up on TH-cam how to set and bait them and now I am told that cage traps are not a good way to get rid of ground hogs. I used to enjoy nature but between the bugs, the critters and their tunnels, I barely get to enjoy going outside anymore. Oh well; such is life. . .

@OkayReneetru The cage trap will work. You saw on the video that the groundhogwent in the trap. The trap was just set too close to the burrow, and dirt got in the way. Check other videos that show you how to set up the trap and suggestions on bait.
@@blockethoutdoors oh no!! I didn’t think about that. Being from Va we were early adopters so I’ve been itching to get one with the air rifle. Haven’t connected yet though. Hitting a head is hard lol
With the cage traps, it works best if you build something to funnel there movement into the trap. Ive caught several with them, couple times theyve chewed threw wire though.
Just an FYI, we have cage traps that NEVER break, used with nose cones at den sites, no bait needed. Have caught many hundreds. Have been producing traps for 14 years. Trapping for nearly 60 years.
I’ve been trying to humanely trap 2 groundhogs on my property for 3 months now. I was successful with the cage traps twice last year, but apparently that isn’t going to work this time. I am going to give these a shot then fill the holes. Thanks for sharing!
Aye I’m new here and I been watching for a few days and idc old or new videos I’ll wya b and all because I was trying to look at a review for my new pellet rifle and your Ana amazing TH-camr bro keep this shii up congrats
I have one that's been living under my back deck for years. His hole is right under the stairs. He was ok for years, but lately he's been doing damage to my deck by chewing. I use repellent spray, but i need him gone. Also he steals all the plastic bags i use to cover things; my firepit, box of logs, even the bag that holds my little gas can. I think i just need a cage trap with a wad of plastic bag in the rear, lol.
You can buy conibears at most large rural hardware stores or from many sources online. In most suburbs, stores are afraid of negative reactions from non country folks. A 160 size is good for groundhogs. I like them because they are instant kill and the animal is less likely to suffer.
If you use a reliable cage trap you can still catch without the worry about kids or pets. The best cage traps actually run at least as high a catch rate as footholds and conibears, probably better. I wouldn't tell people not to use a cage, just get the best, which is a wire trigger and powered door, Comstock Cages.
I wouldn't recommend anyone spend that much for a cage trap when a foot grip is like $10 and won't hurt a pet or kid if they get curious, worst case scenario a lesson is learned
@@buckaroooutdoors1794 You totally missed the mark on that one buckaroo. Cages are preferable in ADC work especially in town. Yes, footholds do have the potential to hurt a pet, which is part of the reason for cage traps. When a pet is in a cage trap, no problem. When the public sees a pet in a foothold, not so good. Just common sense. Additionally our new cage traps are quicker and easier to set with few misses. Our best year was 142 caged woodchucks in positive den sets without the use of bait or lure. When trapping without lure the chances of catching non target animals is greatly reduced. Our trap and methods are endorsed by NWCOA. Over the past 60 years I've tried it all.
@JamesComstockCages dude your trying to sell your product I respect that but your trying to reinvent the wheel there's very few situations where a cage trap is preferable and part of that is my location I'm not in town I don't service any towns. For my purposes I've only used a cage trap once and that's because I didn't want to crawl under a porch with a skunk so I tied a cable to the trap to drag it away that's the only occasion where it was beneficial to use a cage trap
@@buckaroooutdoors1794 First off sport, I am an advocate for whatever devices are superior, which is so many instances cages are. There is a huge multimillion dollar industry of which you seem to be unaware. I doubt you have much background from which to draw with cage usage. I have 40 years of conibears for beaver, footholds for predators and an overlapping of more than 30 years of cages. Before cages I trapped thousands of beaver with conibears and now thousands more with cages, which incidentally are superior in both versatility and function to conibears. Millions don't live in an environment that is suitable for conibears, period. Working in animal damage control, ADC, for years I wasn't satisfied with the equipment offered, so I made traps to use in my business, which are now used by thousands. I use what works best. Cost is irrelevant for those in the business as they recoup their investment on the first job. I'm headed out to set cages today for beaver after taking 2,006 beaver in our double double door, powered, swim through cages in 13 1/2 years, traps that will take otter, nutria, muskrats, turtles, gators, fish, bobcats, fox, coon and more. I use cages not only in urban areas, but everywhere. One trapper caught 2 beaver in our cage at once, a 56 and 61 pounder. Another trapper caught 5 otter at once, with 2 at a time common. Won't happen with conibears. Some have taken 3 and 4 woodchucks at once in our smaller traps. I know. I'm one of those guys. We are always available to help educate.
That’s awesome nice video and i love it👍🏻 u r the best hunter and trapper and hey blockeths outdoors when are you gonna to Spring Gobbler hunt video in Ohio?

Hey brother, I'm from Bangladesh. I'm your big fan.😍😍 I'm always showing your all Videos.🤩🤩 I love hunting❤️. But i don’t have a air rifle 😭😭😭. Please give me a air rifle please please please 😭😭😭.
I have a family of groundhogs that have taken over. The arr eating out the underside of my cabin. As in I can hear them chewing the wood. Even hear the entire process of her giving birth last week. I'm in a 150 yr old cabin that has a wood foundation. Yes, we are surprised it's still standing. Eventually we will have to demolish and replace it but right now I'm living in it. Definitely getting the last trap. Just have to figure how to make sure they are all gone from under the house
I paid the big companies to catch & it didn't work. I paid them for almost a year. Honestly, I think the guys that were coming on were scared so they was just like sitting the trap down...lol.
Were did you get the traps i live in ohio to. But i do have a cage trap and i have a lot of ground hogs on my property i have 43 acre's. And they are really fun to hunt and my goal is to get a ground hog with ny shotgun
We have a great double door trap to be used at den sites and provide how to methods that work great. Have caught 142 chucks with no bait in our best season.
We cannot set traps in our barn because we have a Chihuahua and I have a blue heeler that would get in the traps So far, she has caught two of the. younger Groundhogs if she gets a chance, she goes out there and waits like a cat on the others, hoping she gets rid of Obama. We take a bag of mortar, dump it in the hole, wet it and it seals it off. We found that groundhogs have moved on because we did this.
@@JamesComstockCages Are there any videos to show how to set them up? We have a lot of stray cats and kittens so we don’t want to chance it with a kill trap. The cages look a little complicated.
Can’t say a cage trap sucks because you are incapable of using it. It’s meant to be baited. You don’t need to have it that close to the hole where dirt could cause it to malfunction if you’re using bait…cmon now

Skunks use the same holes too, opossums too.
With the cage traps, it works best if you build something to funnel there movement into the trap. Ive caught several with them, couple times theyve chewed threw wire though.
We have great cages with nose cones for funneling. Our traps will not fail and neither woodchucks or armadillos can break any component or escape.

Red Cabbage is the best bait I've used in a cage trap for groundhogs / woodchucks
Damm man I've used cantaloupe apples broccoli and nothing.. I'm going to get one of these traps then light the dead *uck on fire
