Welp. Trap is set again. Ole Vern has ninja nibbled the cheese without getting caught twice. We’ll see how he does tonight. @Johnsfolly I had already named him before your post.

I was just thinking the same thing. I'm not normally sentimental but I like this guy. Two guys are out this week and I've been covering for them. Driving me nuts with problems. Watching the mouse is like one of those ASMR videos. It's soothing. But I think he's got to go.
I’ve had a couple snakes. Took em to the river and let em go. I am kind of worried he wants to start a family. But I sure do like him. I have two cats on camera all the time. They are bird killers. I’ve thought of putting some treats out for them. Clearly they aren’t mousers.
So I found a baby rat in my smoker and saw big moms run away. So I put out a trap to kill her but kept getting cleaned out without triggering it. So I put a camera out there. I have never seen the rat but this little mouse showed up.
I put out a small mouse trap In place of the large rat trap thinking I would kill the mouse. But he has triggered the trap twice but didn’t get snapped. He’s fast like a little ninja mouse.
I’ve grown to like him so I watch him on the camera instead of trying to kill him. It’s relaxing to watch him snoop around in the dark. I’ve never seen the rat again.

Plenty of skeletons of animals are found all the time. Deer for example. My in-laws had dozens of skulls and bones they found on their farm over the years. Decades actually. Most were found when plowing 100’s of acres of fields each year.
How about the scat question? that’s a lot of poop to just vanish
I just don’t believe a 10-12’ animal can escape detection in this age of cameras and the sheer number of people out in the woods.
But don't rabbits just eat there poop once and leave a secondary poop?? Either way if these things are eating their own poop why do they need 12 deer at one time. You're helping @Ryan Miloshewskidodge my question so pipe down....😀
Where is the scat? Look how much a normal human leaves behind. If these things are 10-12' tall and eating deer, cows and pigs, that's a lot of scat right???
