I have 10 plus weasel sets out baited with some rabbit, some with mice and some others with chicken livers. I have had them out for about 2 weeks with no luck. I know I have the sets where weasels are traveling. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Caleb

With the bait you're using, you should have gotten a few at least. Newsom reassures fire victims he'll be prepared next time, now that he knows water is useful in fighting fires.

I like to put them next to a culvert near slough bottoms another good place is where people dump deer carcasses, I'll grease the rim w/ a little fresh beaver blood... I always used fresh beaver meat about the size of your fist froze to the box in the back and a gob of feathers... with a 1 1/2 longspring w/ waxed jaws so as to not stain the fur preferably a weak one so it has minimal pan tension also keep the hole to the max legal size you'll pick up a mink once in awhile too

I don't have any weasel lure, have been just using bait. Lure would probably help to catch them. I saw your post on wanting to buy weasels. 160user, I have herd that Lenon's Weasel Super Call is a good lure, My local fur buyer was out Lenon weasel lure.
