This is always a topic of diverse beliefs and practices. How often do you rebait a set. I tend to think every week is enough but what do you all think?

After only one week, things are probably just beginning to mellow out. A lot probably depends on humidity in your region. I try to stick with about two weeks, but I'm sure some guys would say that 3 is alright. Then again, after three weeks, many would pull the set.

I'd pull it after a week unless it was a cat or mink set. Bout the only time i rebait during fur season is after a flood...shane


When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.

To each his own,I personally rebait mink,or K-9 sets with fresh bait around 3-5 days. If useing stink bait most times never as as stated time to move sets.
It also depends on where the set is. If it's at a river crossing or something similar they stay till the weather forces me to move them.
Some big buck mink take a week or better to return.
Some hot spots for fox can produce all season, if their territories cross.

I only re-bait if they steal the original bait.

If the bait's still there, why replace it?

I am not talking hunks of meat and Nick yes I set the same mile section of creek behind my house all season. And I caught plenty of coon and five nice cats. I am with Kirk if the smell is gone I rebait, of course I can not detect odors like the critters but it is still helpful to see what others do. smile
