    PERSONALLY JAKE , I CAN SEE NO REASON WHY THEY WOULDNT CATCH WELL ............... NO ANIMAL LOWERS ITSELF ARSE FIRST INTO A BOX !! THEY DROP IN HEAD FIRST , THE HEIGHT OF THE BOX SHOULD HELP WITH THE ANIMALS MOMENTUM .. HAVING THE REVERSE AFFECT TO A TUNNEL , THOUGH I WOULD MAKE SURE THERES NOT A LARGE GAP AROUND THE INSIDE EDGE BETWEEN TRAP AND BOX ....... YOU COULD PERHAPS TRY A BODYGRIP SET HALF WAY UP THE BOX ON NAILS WITH A FINE WIRE BETWEEN THE TRIGGER , THEN AS THE SQUIRREL DROPS INTO THE BOX ....... BINGO ! ALL THE BEST DUCKWING
