Had this one awhile. Doesn't need sharpening very often. Edge comes right back with a butchers steel.

I run 2 at work
2007 kubota ZD331 and a 2025 kubota 1611 both 31 hp diesels, both 60" cut. they handle steep ground very well due to the weight of them. you will not see these decks crack, the 331 has 3000 hours on it,, engine was rebuilt once do to the owner running it out of oil. awesome mowers. I mow 30 acres every week with these 2 machines. other than the rebuild. just a belt on the 331, a few spindle guards, blades and, fuel filters are all I have ever replaced on them.

I’ve never asked a trailing scent to be a trail of bread crumbs. To that end, I’ll use quality fish oil mixed with shellfish dribbled in the area of a DP but nothing more.

I use 3/32 7X7 on all my body grips with a regular trap swivel that’s about 2-4” from the spring eye, about 7’ of cable then a stainless long line clip at the end which has a swivel as part of the clip.
I can wrap it around whatever object l want and clip the cable onto its self. I wrap my trap tag around my trap swivel.
Because all our soils are sand and/or peat bogs are full of salt and our salt water marshes corrode traps pretty quickly l change cables every year. Everything gets dipped in F1.

Wild Idaho,
IMO, that is as pretty as it gets! If a guy could only find another hundred like it!! I'm betting you moved some of those smaller rocks around after each catch too.

The Coyotero,
I tend to agree with your summation, but would also add time of year, and local activity ( planting, harvesting, spraying, logging activity) to the last sentence. IME, spraying/fertilizing a fresh planted field really spooks canines.

I don't believe backing height makes any difference, and if available, prefer a tall/ strong backing, especially in coon country. I'm a multi species trapper, if it works my set I expect to catch it. IME, rock piles, stacks of round bales, stump piles, edges of cattail sloughs, roots of tipped over trees, and shelter belts are quite attractive to most any furbearer, most any time of year. If I have to set in an over grazed pasture, a rock will do, but I'll expect some coyotes and wolves to work it from the backside. Trapping in the snow suggests that would be a good idea, and snow doesn't lie.
IME, moving or making a set with natural materials, is not detrimental to success at that location, particularly long term, like permanent cubbies in the bush country, or adding some foot guiding/ narrowing a snare location with a fern, pine bow, etc. Build a fence, leave a bunch of sweat doing so, and you'll get refusals, especially in more remote areas, where animals are not accustomed to human interaction. On the other side of that coin, I bet there are at least twenty farmers/ranchers on this site, that have run coyotes out of the last ten rows of corn while combining, had coyotes or fox in the same field they were haying, or had coon in their barns, outbuildings, or stored machinery. We could also ask them how much grease they go through in a year, along with hydraulic fluid, (you know there is at least two leaking hydraulic lines amongst the twenty), that ends up in their fields, where we are making sets, but worried about keeping our traps odor free!

The goats seemingly didn't like the recent scorching heat wave either.

Bringing this topic back up..

I'm still finding bedstraw to be a nuisance. 'Curious if any of you have found good mitigation techniques

I've been trying to pull it when possible.

I remember Vernor's in the late 70's and it was great. Haven't seen it in way over 40 years.

Too bad it got ruined.

Just a 3/4" bump took that one robot down. It broke into an amazing amount of pieces. I would never have thought they would be so fragile.

This keeps reminding me of a joke I can't post here about three women sitting on a bench, a nun, a prostitute and a newlywed.

Steve once you get rid of those children expenses and mortgage payments and other payments you will have more play money with the same income level. Personally, work is a form of play for me. I don't hate my jobs and they keep me entertained. Same reason a lot of seniors take work when they really don't have to.

Caution, you might catch harmless snakes. I had some mice eating the bait in a 160 cubby, so decided to catch the mice first with the little snap traps. Only problem was, it killed a garter snake that was hunting the mice, so I quit that. Then I saw what I thought was a rat eating the coon bait in a live trap. I have a 54"+ Eastern Fox snake family living nearby too, don't want to kill them with a Victor Rat Snap trap. Leaving any rats for the big snake to kill. Here's that commonly known Pine Snake 6/5/25. [Linked Image]
