Slingshot, I am getting away from buckets and switching to wood boxes. They seem to be more effective to me and easier to conceal. If you leave the front half of the bottom off and put a 1/2 inch wire backing on, you will see a marked improvement on your catch. I got this idea from a video and it works. the boxes should be 9 inches on a side, 24 inches long. Cut notches for the springs about 3 inches deep. Place a log, or something heavy on top so they dont flip it over on you. There are a couple other little tricks to use also, but that should get you started. Tom
