I set the live trap like that, banana underneath, maybe it was just this one, but I have not been able to catch a one, and this is the old havahart, where you can adjust the linkages, they butt together, and I had it set just right, things get out of whack with these, but with some tinkering, it seemed just right, caught possum and skunk at night, could not get that darned racoon, those I downright do not like.
I've used 22 LR, .223 and .308, friend even used a 300 win mag, we both set up in a field for a farmer, 400 yd confirmed shots both of us, me with .308 130 gr HP, he with the 300 same H.P., turned him inside out, mine went back down into the hole. Some good shooting in a big alfalfa field. We had livestock here at one time and those holes could not be tolerated, so I learned as a kid they have to be dealt with.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents.
