Andrew vs. Mongoose

[Andrew]

Volume 1:

Is it mongoose of mongeese?:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongoose:

A mongoose (plural: mongooses[2] or, rarely, mongeese[3]) is a member of the family Herpestidae (although also used for some members of Eupleridae), a family of small, cat-like carnivores.

Well any roads, thanks to Vicki B. for the idea of trapping the little rascals that have been plaguing my property and A BIG MAHALO to Mr. Buzz for the links to the "How to trap a critter" links that he posted using a box trap. His links don't do justice however to the process in a simple Step-By-Step supplemented with nifty photos and easy to follow steps for creating and executing a Box Trap to capture the little devils.

So the kernel was planted in my fevered mind to produce such a Box Trap and put it to the ultimate test right here in our beloved Puna, Big Island of Hawaii.

So stay tuned for Step-By-Step how-to's using as little $$$ as possible...

Wish me luck

Alohaaaaaaaaaaaa,
Andrew

Mind you, these are more of "have'an'attitude' kinda traps. Before you look it to it.

So have we got any bookies in our reading audience? What are the odds? Who puts their hard earned baksheesh at odds against the mongoose and who against Andrew eh? Come on anti-up!

Andrew

ps: my trap will be 100% home-made and as close to free as possible. [8D]

[JWFITZ]

If you have that attitude you will win, of course!

But you can't build as good a trap as cheap as above--or potentially borrow mine.

Do I smell a budding mongoose-killing service here???
