I bought the 21st century version:

this is my preferred trap. I have mastered the underhand toss. in one motion i can open the back door, swing my arm upwards and squeeze the trap slightly. with practice, this technique should allow you to send the moose flying about 10 feet. let the food chain do the rest.

@Peter Minde : the picture you posted made me think of 3D printer results. Led to this video. The traps were set in a barn for 3 nights as a test.

Fill that bucket with a couple inches of water and when you throw them out in the yard they won't come back.

Who would have thought this thread would gain so much traction? Next question, do you move your traps around or do you leave them in the same place?

If you’re not getting mice, move them. If you get one, reset it in the same place. Rodents follows routes. When you figure out their avenues, you almost don’t need to bait them.

You said it yourself. Everyone in the mountains/woods is battling mice. Here in NJ the outdoor poison things do it 100%.

If you got mice, and you put peanut butter on something, they will find it.

But I like setting traps in the basement. It's probably where they are coming in, and you don't have to look at the traps all the time.

True. BUT!! I don't trap in the basement anymore. I had a trap in my basement directly under my bathroom. Whenever I'd go in that room it smelled as if my septic was backing up, coouldn't figure it out. What I discovered was trap that I had forgotten about that had a decaying and extremely stinky mouse in it! It was a gawd awful stench!

I leave mine in the same place

Put one in the basement of your camp. Rub some peanut butter on it and go back to Jersey. When you come back if you have mice you too find them drowned in the bucket.
