I can post pics again!!! This is a set of sheds landowner found on one of the properties I'm trapping. Given a modest spread measures gross 172" Catch has been slow past 2 checks..a couple beavers, 1 coyote, 1 coon, several possums. Pulling tommorrow and headed home...I'm tired.

Swamp I’m just curious, are you setting the up wind edge of the road on those straight aways or are you going to the middle of the road in case of a wind change ? Don’t know how much traffic your getting if any, just seems like the middle of the road would be safer for the bridgers,lol .

I do sometimes pay attention to the wind but not much as it changes so often. I pay more attention to where I see tracks and put set in as close as possible.... within inches of the tracks. I have set the middle of the road if there is some grass clumps for backing..my favorite spot.

Just got back from giving most sets a shot of fox/bcat urine. Rained this morning and clear now with temps dropping tonight...should be a good predator night.

Thanks for the ride and instructions. Setting traps on a place this week that’s about identical to what you are leaving. Safe travels! Good luck! I've had enough for a while. The warmer temps and rain makes coyote trapping a challenge. Plus I dont like trapping as much when everything but coyotes and beaver have to be released starting March 1st.

[quote=RM trapper] since we've been getting drowned with rain for a week and I pulled my sets,
Wished I would of pulled mine since we have had 9.31" of rain this past week. I had bobcat sets under 6ft of water.
