always take more traps with you then you plan to put out. that way when a new spot jumps at you, you have a trap for it. HA learned that'n the hard way ![grin](/forum/images/graemlins/default/grin.gif) ..... but i did however bring more traps with me on the next day...... but some very good tips here!

From experience.Make sure the ground isn't frozen before you walk down to a creek. You could slide all the way down and in. ![blush](/forum/images/graemlins/default/blush.gif) Use a walking stick to cross creeks and dams. Always be willing to adapt to new situations.

Never leave home without a chain and jumper cables. You'll need em at some point!

Remember that just because something is legal, that doesn't automatically make it ethical or smart.
Example would be: setting road-side ditches or using bodygrip traps right by somebodys house! Or maybe setting traps near a park where you know folks walk dogs. The above might be legal-by-the-book, but they aren't ethical/smart decisions.
Use your head, think, and remember that what you do reflect on all other trappers.

1)If the site is good for one trap it's good for two.... 2)Get a trash bag to put your catch in and use a bug killer on the catch be it Coon Cat or Yoto they ALL have BUGS>>YOU>>DON'T>>WONT..use Black Flag or somethink like it ..and tie the bag closed so no bug gets out. Do it RIGHT after you make the kill!!!The kill gets cold and the Bugs go looking for somthing alive and you are it !!!
