I guess it was colder then I thought - I went to bed with a hot cup of coco and a an extra blanket on the bed with hopes of getting a sound sleep and relief from my back pain. When I awoke this morning I checked the traps and it was a full house - guess they where hoping for a warmer place to get through the night...
The one thing I thought of was take them out for the little Mink who lives here. I found his new digs and so I walked the bounty out to his door and placed them on the ground. I came back less the 5 minutes later and all four bodies where gone. See helped little Mink from having to go shopping today.....
Traps are back in their place and the morning here starts. For me breakfast was homemade French Toast and two LFF morning fresh hen eggs over easy. No Bacon and No Mice!!!

I used to set the traps outside with the mice in them and the barn cats would take them trap and all. A little while later they would set the trap by the door! Good eats...?
trained barn cats - WOW! I felt so bad about messing up the Mink's home when I moved the pallets for the big bales - so I had to make amends...
wow..even better than a three dog night...
Good catch, bet the mink thanks you.
I have been over run with mice this year ........ think I bring them home in the hay bales, I use sticky traps, dispose with the mice, don't have to handle them. Trapped 4 in the cab of my pickup, now keep sticky trap under the seat. Dogs are getting good at catching them out in the field.
Lucky little mink! Your breakfast sounds much better than his! ;-)
