I trap a lot in the snow. That'll make you realize that regardless of lure or bait, some just walk on by, they know where they are going and aren't going to be distracted. But if the turn to the set but don't work it, work it and don't get caught, or avoid it rather than ignore it. Those are actually bigger problems. And my experience is the same as Seth's they show the highest interest and work the set best the first time they encounter it as a general rule.

I to doubt it is Degree deodorant but if it gives you more confidence to wear Right Guard, that may be all it takes to up your catch.

3/16 quick link is what I use to attach my super fin stakes. I have not experienced a failure with more wolves than I care to deal with and 6 different bear. I will break #2 chain when pulling before the link will fail. Slowly switching to #3 as I go.

I could see laying foam barrier down… im not sure id do all that for a barn like im talking. I mean a 3” tapcon would mean not to have any pex in the top two inches which i wouldnt think youd want close to the surface at all. Id run multiple loops with multiple in and outlets. Any loop can fail then. As far as insulation itd prob just be that thin foam stufff to roll out, lay pipe on, pin tubing around, add at least 10 3” elbows through the forms, a couple drums, heck i might even leave 2’ at one wall just gravel,.pour 4” on top, and i cut my concrete every 8’.

I try not to over complicate things. Good luck. Im about idead out on this one.

my dad complains of the same 20 years after nearly taking his middle finger on his right hand off with the table saw.

his answer is south FL as soon as Christmas is over until May 1.

he told them when his finger was dangling there just take it off and the hand surgeon said oh no we can do much better than that.
he wishes the just took it off frequently when it is cold and it hurts.

Nice! Hunted hard 3 days in Sodak. Heading home tomorrow. Had a blast. Every body dog tired.
