Good Idea.

Lay the ground cloth in horse manure and then cover it with same, let it rest/cook for a while. Then take out and hang from tree in the wind; remeber ur knees will pick up this odor over time as will ur shoes.

We are trying to remove the smell not add to It. LOL

LOL. Its getting the UV treatment right now, sitting out in the sun and rain. I'll probably just buy an untreated one and use this one to cover the back of a elevated box stand that doesn't have a door on it.

Now thats funny! Good one Beav !

Best thing about trapping is chemistry, do it ur way and enjoy ur trapping

Modern canvas is usually made of cotton or linen, although historically it was made from hemp. It differs from other heavy cotton fabrics, such as denim, in being plain weave rather than twill weave. Canvas comes in two basic types: plain and duck. The threads in duck canvas are more tightly woven.

Horse manure contains grass and grain fibers, minerals, shed cells, fats, water, and sand or grit, depending on the type of soil the hay or grass was growing in. About 3/4 of the total weight of manure is water.

just ordered an un-treated canvass drop cloth for $22.50. 4 feet by 12 feet. (shipping here was another $10).


haven't received it yet, so I can't vouch for how scent "free" it is; but it is not treated.

You going to cut It up Into smaller segments?

yep....

always have a clean one to use.

Landscaping cloth comes in different thicknesses, I use the thickest . No odor , dries quick too. Available at Menards

Here's what I use. Available at Lowes or Home Depot. Cheap. No smell.

good deal, Tracy...especially without the shipping.

only difference I can see is 8 oz. versus 10 oz. cloth

I use them plastic feed sacks that chicken food comes in .Got lots of them, they have no smell other than whatever the chicken feed smells like ,anyway never have i had a problem using them to Kneel on. When they get dirty just throw em out grab another one.

i use exactly what Laz said only mine comes from menards and is a lot cheaper that the 16bucks. I think it was 8 bucks maybe I bought a smaller one could be why it was cheaper. but works great and no smell at all. used to use a old bleacher pad my grandmother had that was going in the trash. pretty comfortable but since I remove the left overs now it wasn't much help only being 12"x24".

I’ve never used any kind of pad or cloth. Get in, set quick, kick extra dirt around, leave. If you think that pad is the difference between a coyote smelling you or not then you’re fooling yourself. All you have to do is walk through an area and they’ll know. I’ve never had a problem catching coyotes just kneeling on the ground and setting barehanded.

If it gives you confidence then by all means do it, I’m just saying the whole human scent thing is way overthought IMO

I don't set bare handed cause ive pulled to many sand burrs, cactus and hedge thorns out of them. I bait and lure barehanded. my kneeling cloth is the knees of my Carhart bibs. I just toss em in the washer time to time. I skin a lot as I go. Pull the hide down a bit the grab the base of the tail and put my knee in there. use my weight to peel that coyote down to the front legs. I think that fat under a coyotes hide makes my kneeling cloth work good.
