Around here yet we will need much longer pvc pipe lengths so the pipe will show up above the water in our fields!
Bryce I might recommend float sets for you. Lol Ain't that the truth!

That's how my sets usually look the next day too! Don't matter how hard I squint, I can't turn a possum into a fox.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

My standard day two catch too. Way to go! Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

How does this set work in sand? I've been thinking about running a few, will the trap pack in tightly in sand?
Tried a couple years ago in sand but never felt like the trap was tight enough...
Maybe some members here might have a solution...
Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes...... Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

I have mostly sand here and with it wet like now it tightens right up but when dry it doesn't matter what bedding method you use the trap has to be deep to be solid.
Wish I had more time to trap....

The real test will be when ground is frozen rock sold down several inches and it is zero to sub zero temps. Then some freeze-thaw action for a few days with sun warming it up to just above freeze during day then dropping to well below freezing at night. Those are the tough conditions here where the minimal trap covering with dry material and not much of trap touching the bed area below will be tested. Whether the trap will remain stable, not be frozen down to the soil like a rock, and still fire appropriately by the set target. The pipe is just a place to put bait or lure instead of trying to hammer drill a dirthole in rock solid frozen ground. Jim

Taking my 10 year old daughter bout today to check pipe dream progress. She is excited to go because we get the truck muddy. I am excited to have her go because she is right there helping and we have a good time. Hopefully will be posting catch pictures with her in them too. (Not her caught) lol. Good luck to all today.
Wish I had more time to trap....
