Things I learned at the lake....

I thought that I would reopen this useful thread because some members might not have seen it yet. I bet that there are many more folks with helpful tips to share.

I have learned that mice will eat a comrade stuck to a glue trap.

Mice will eat soap when no other options are present. They prefer Dial to unscented Dove.

They also like to eat silicone spatulas and the buttons off of a television/VCR remote.

I have found that setting a mouse trap inside a small Havahart trap keeps the dogs safe from a nose snap and keeps a mink from running off with the trap.

This style trap worked well in catching the tiny critter that didn't set off the traditional snap trap.

Binder clips work great for keeping bags closed and for hanging towels to dry on the boat.

What have you learned at the lake?
