I'm gonna spray paint my snares camo for beaver. Never have but I'm gonna try it.

I paint all my restraints and supports. Normally I do this at least a couple months in advance but did paint several this year a week before setting them and still had great results. Many of them where well blended in to good spots whick I think has more to do with refusals than scent does. If they are well blended I have very few refusals. But what works for one guy doesn't always seem to work for others. To each their own.

Why paint snare supports or kill poles anyway ? Think about it folks unless your trapping in the middle of Alaska or some other places like that every target animal has seen a fence or walked past some barbed wire laying in the grass so it's no big deal, keep it simple and fast and effective I use snares with kill springs the majority of the time because I want a quick and humane kill on my target animal without packing a bunch of extra unnecessary things into the area I'll be snaring.
I also boil my snares in baking soda I've also gone as far as to add juniper berries and leaves or even some sage brush to the boil pot because it's common where I set the snares and a natural odor, spray paint isn't .
So why not add what ever is common to your area for brush and collect it while scouting the area before you set the snares ?
If boiling snares is good enough for my good friend Keith Gregerson who has caught more animals in snares than most people it's good enough for me and he's done it without kill poles imagine that.

This ^^^^.. Ive done the same thing when I need snares or extensions in short order , no smell but I still prefer to paint for a camo effect if I have time to let them air out like over the summer .

Keeps them getting rusty. Extends their lives. Keeps my gloves cleaner.

You do it your way, I'll do it the right way. LOL

I guess I've been away too long
