Live Box Traps

Does anyone still use these much. I have made several and several for friends and guys i work with and they love and say they will never go back to a cage trap, i know i have caught more out of these than the cage live traps i have. This is all my grandfather ever used even when he could afford cage traps.
What your opinion on using them?

I've been having better luck using the pyramid trap.
Using an apple and spraying the trap and area w/ cider vinegar.

i do let them set for a day or 2 with apples on the trails and i spray them with 100% apple juice to get the bunnies use to coming to trap before i actually set it to catch. seems to work for me.

Do you have the drawings on the pyramid or the url where i can find the drawings i will make a couple and see how they work compared to the box trap.

Thanks

I had 3 of those and my good one got stolen idk who took it.

I'm down to 2 of them threw out 2 of my pyramid traps that i designed my self. I also have a cage trap. I've been catching alot of possums in the wooden boxes though, i also caught a groudhog in one in the summer.

I haven't put them out at all this year i might start soon though just to see what i can catch. Its always fun for my little 5yr. old brother to go check them with me.
