Know your local laws when using body grippers. And remember, doing your own removal on your own property is different than working for the public. For example, here is a snip from Ohio nuisance wildlife laws on body grippers (relates to 220s) (i) It shall be unlawful for any person other than a licensed commercial nuisance wild animal control operator to set, use, or maintain a body gripping trap, on land for the purpose of taking a nuisance wild animal, that has an inside diameter jaw spread larger than five inches in diameter, except as provided in paragraph (H) of this rule. (ii) It shall be unlawful for any licensed commercial nuisance wild animal control operator to set, use, or maintain a body gripping trap, on land for the purpose of taking a nuisance wild animal, that has an inside diameter jaw spread larger than six inches in diameter, except as provided in paragraph (H) of this rule. (iii) It shall be unlawful for any person to set, use, or maintain a body gripping trap, for the purpose of taking a nuisance wild animal, with a jaw measurement of greater than five inches or less than or equal to seven inches unless partially or completely submerged in a natural body of water, except as provided in paragraph (H) of this rule. (iv) It shall be unlawful for any person at any time to set, use, or maintain a body gripping trap, in the water for the purpose of taking a nuisance wild animal, that has a jaw spread larger than seven inches except while completely submerged.
I wish you lived in my area. The groundhog has several holes under my shed and I am too old to do all the excellent deterrents that you put in place. Today, he climbed a tree where I have placed a suet feeder!
That is a very detailed explanation. Good job. You should tell that Ryan to give more details and be more thourgh with his videos.
Thanks for feedback
Duke 220 Conibear is very effective. The devastation of my garden seased in less than 3 hours. RIP Groundhog.
