ShaneT I can make a bury set faster than I can put in a dirt hole with foot trap. I can't use foot holds in my state so I use the DP trap in it's place. I dig the hole and put the trap in it or dig a pocket and put the trap in it or make a mound set and put the trap. May take me 30 seconds longer. The bury sets are not used every time I set. I only use them to catch the 20% or to put them in places where there are people. Just like every method there are places and times to use them. If the trapper just wants to skim the top and move, catch what ever is going to get caught fast, then putting in an advanced DP set is a waste of time in many minds. And that is OK. The key for me is, do what ever I have to do to catch in any situation. Right for me maybe wrong for others.

Actually some were. I have several pictures of foxes, red and grey, and one coyote caught in DP traps.

I could probably find a picture of Red Fox and Otter, very rare. Very common Skunk, Cat, Squirrel, using sweater type bait will almost eliminate the last three.

what is a sweater bait?
