I wish you would show more about how to actually release the door. I had a very pissed off squirrel and it took me nearly 15 minutes to figure out how to get the door open and not be in front of it when he came out. It is NOT an easy trap to release!!
Good explanations. For safety, I recommend staying much farther from the critter (perhaps with a rope or long tool attached to the door) upon release. #Trapping #Havahart #Havahart1079
I like to give grey squirrels a 1-way ride to squirrel heaven. Humans have killed-off almost all grey squirrel predators and now we are overwhelmed with them. It is up to us to try and contribute to the bio-diversity of our wooded areas by feeding grey squirrels to the neighborhood scavengers.
You can't easily release this trap with a rope or long tool. You have to lift the latch, and then push the door in and up with your arm. You can't even latch it open if the animal is sitting on the trigger plate.
Did I miss the part where he said where he was taking the squirrel? Are there laws about where one can and can't release trapped animals? When I use my trap for squirrels, I release one of the side doors, stand back and push the lever to open one side and the animal flies out not wanting a thing to do with me. Having your hands right down' where the animal is coming out is asking for it.
Crummy trap design. You have to lift the latch and push in on the door with your arm and hold it up. What happens if the animal turns quickly and bites your arm as it exits?
When people buy Havahart traps, they should use a permanent black marker to write the model number(which is always on the box) somewhere on the trap. Then after you throw out the box and later decide to do a video, you will know the model number of the trap you are demonstrating and you can include that in the video name. I have no idea why Havahart does not stamp every trap with the model number, so people would have this info for later reference. I would rename this video to include the model number or at least include that info in your description. Your video would have a lot more views if people could search on the Havahart model number to find it. WRZ 2021-08-06 Delaware County, PA
Discouraging birds from triggering the Havahart 1083 Squirrel Trap OR stealing the Peanut Butter : I cut a wood scrap approx 3/4 " by 1.5 " to the exact width of the trap. (I cut the ends at a slight angle.) I do this so I can jam the wood into the trap in a way that it is just tight enough that it can not easily be removed by an animal prying it. I then screw 3 wood screws completely through the 3/4" width, equidistant across the 7" width of the wood scrap. Then I get 3 16.9 oz Pepsi plastic bottles and cut the end (with the bottle cap) off. (approx 1.25 ") Then I drill a small hole through the center of the 3 bottle caps and attach the caps to the 3 screws in the wood. Them I screw the ends of the Pepsi bottles into their caps that are secured to the wood. Then I place peanut butter inside the 3 plastic caps. and the ends. * * * * Then I take this assembly and place it backwards up against the far end of the trap. * * * * If you do this right, the birds wont be able to access the peanut butter because there is not enough room for their beaks to reach around and then inside the plastic bottle caps. I also cover the entire back of the trap and the back/top portion of the trap with an approx. 7" wide "L" shaped piece of sheet metal, so that the birds can't reach their head through the back and eat the peanut butter from the outside. I drill holes through the sheet metal and use electrical ties to secure it to the trap. The sheet metal on the top portion of the trap prevents the peanut butter from getting wet when it rains hard. Squirrels tend to find food via their sense of smell so they will find the peanut butter in the bottle caps, even when they can not see the PB. I also place a couple of peanuts within their shells inside with the peanut butter to further prevent the birds from getting all the PB. Some day I should probably write a book about trapping grey squirrels. WRZ 2021-08-06 Delaware County, PA

The trap you are using is * * * * NOTT * * * * an EZ set trap. The Havahart Model 1083 EZ Set trap is the best trap for grey squirrels. I like to give them a 1-way ride to squirrel heaven and then feed the carcass to neighborhood scavengers like Possum at night. Win-Win

How were you going to deal with a skunk without getting sprayed?
Wish you showed how to open it up to release him....🙃

You probably don’t want to catch a skunk beside your building house whatever unless you want to have a bad smell a long time.
now he is not with his family??

That squirrel is Derek. He’s a little mad at you about all this.
Awesome
Thanks!
That's illegal, bud.
