I'm still having fits on locations, can't make up my mind on where to put sets in. Trying to use wind to advantage best I can. Setting on sign, tracks & scat. The bait & pee will have to do the rest.

set more, think less. also set fast. I mean in and out and down the road. there is a reason. also run early, real early. there is a reason for that too, more than the avg guy grasps. serious. the wives tale that a few good sets is better than lots of poor sets is not true and never has been. I mean the actual physical set/setting. if you are hung up on "the set" you`ll never get past that point in your trapping career. that`s NOT where it`s at.

I can put them in quick enough, just the where too gets me. I know the bait / pee will do its job. All I need to do is get it fairly close to the travel way.

set more. if that doesn`t work, then the population is not there. seeing "a" track is just that, "a " track.

Grounds frozen pretty good now. Broke my hammer, dirt hole punch, a rebar stake, & a disposable stake driver. Pulling rebar at the end of the week will be a chore...

Good time. Broke another hammer, stake puller& dirt hole punch. And something else I can't recall. Caught some coyotes, coon, a red fox, missed my chance on a cat in a trail set. Managed fewer non targets this year. Fun getting to see everyone again and even met a few new folks.
