How long will it take to connect? That's like asking what will be the price of gold tomorrow!

I've had trails like that that went cold right after I set a snare while connecting on some hail Mary sets with only one set of tracks. Martin'trappers right about guessing on this one.


Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

2 days. It will connect the first day if there is a NNE wind less than 7 MPH provided the RH is above 35% but less than 84%. You can take that to the bank!


I have nothing clever to put here.

That's crap everyone knows RH has to be above 36.284%.

Bull! It is common knowledge that if a blue bucket is used then you drop the RH by 1.284%. Common knowledge. Rookie!

If it’s any help I keep all my snares in a blue bucket, I’m pretty sure that will change any guesses.

Oh yeah? Well I catch two "somethings" almost every year. Granted, at least one is usually my thumb but it still counts!

Set several snares and check them in about 5 days,you should have something.
Maybe toss a nice fat beaver carcass back in the brush and cover it up.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

How fresh is that snow and what kind of tracks are they?

Snow fell on Friday night tracks include coyote and rabbit, there was also a set of coon tracks that went by but not down that path.
