You didn't catch and release 60 mice. You caught and released the same five

nope they were all different mice, they had no way back in.


"no way back in" THAT YOU KNOW OF. Unless you released them at least a mile
away, you were catching the same mice. Over and over and over.
The only way you might really know this, is using a spray paint or
magic markers. Add a scarlet letter?


LMAO


Buddy of mine did that with a raccoon that kept getting into his dogfood
supply. 3 daughters at home at the time, so he tried catch&release to
keep them happy. 2nd or 3rd time, he spray-painted a yellow spot on his
back. Next time he saw the spot, he sent the wife and kids shopping,
shot it and buried it. Mice, half a mile or so is probably plenty. My
buddy said he took the coon 5 miles across a river, and it was back
within 48 hours.
