[align:left][/align][b][/b] and wrapping the trap in wax paper I've used wax paper but have never tried wrapping a trap in it. Does that work pretty good?

If I were you I'd look for the dvd on Herb Lenon predator trapping,there's a segment on trapping deep snow.I don't know where you're at up here,but I'm well familar with the conditions you're operating under,and have trapped off a snow machine,and have never hauled around wax dirt on the snow machine.

Exposed trap walk thru rub set or whatever set you would like,, under a confier or between two conifers is better if spacing is tight enough ,,will block a lot of snow I get years where the snow is pretty deep hear also. Knee deep is not uncommon here in my part of the state up higher powder snow is way better to my liking and the traps than freeze thaw snow that wet crap stinks lol.

I shovel or stomp paths and make walk through's. Sometimes I feel like a nut out in the middle of nowhere shoveling snow.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I shovel or stomp paths and make walk through's. I do the same thing. I give them an approach and an exit from the set. We had two feet of snow at one point this winter and I used straw to keep my traps suspended near the surface and out of danger from freezing in. A little bit on top of the traps to keep the snow out of the moving parts. Our season ended the last day of December and every trap I had set fired flawlessly when I shut things down.

WI can use cable restraints for cats. I would think Mi could And you'd be dead wrong.

So everyone is supposed to know every trap restriction everywhere-as if.I stand by my statement-the best tool for taking cats in deep snow is snares. If you got a problem with trapping restrictions get organized and get the rules changed.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I'm sure you do stand by your statement,it still doesn 't pertain to the situation headline on this thread."If you got a problem with trapping restrictions....."Don't put words in my mouth.That never came up.

Well don't put words in my mouth you turkey. I never suggested he use anything,I made the statement that snares are the best tool to take cats in deep snow.And they are. It is up to him to figure out what is legal in his jurisdiction,definitely not me.
