    Default How many of you have live animal traps?

    I've been pretty prepared for when the SHTF but my latest tool is live animal traps. Rabbits,squirrels ect.... they are pretty tasty. I have all the wheat, rice, seeds, dried butter & eggs but where's the beef? I have some property but don't see much big game up there. Harbor Freight had some on sale a couple weeks back for about $25 so I grabbed some.

    I got one from Harbor Freight a while back that I didn't like at all. The one I got at Home Depot right after (about a year ago) is really good. I capture squirrels all the time.

    I'll have to give them a try and see if they are worth a crap. There are enough rabbits in most neighborhoods to feed a army it seems like. I wonder if you could catch some rabbits and breed them if it looks like a long term disaster.

    Now this is a smart man! Do you think the foot catching traps would work better?

    If you have some place to keep them you could. But you would need a pen of some sorts that they cant dig under and get out.
