When you are setting for a target species, do you prefer to have the target or no catch or a catch whether it is the target or not?

For now I’m looking to exclude all but the target animal. Once I am retired and needing gas money all bets are off .

Great way to answer the target nontarget question, we all set knowing we may take several different species from the same set.

i prefer my target and im pretty effecient at it by not only pan tensions but choice of locations. Got paid for target animals not non targets.

Doesn’t trap size play a role in that equation?

I don’t think The OP is asking that , but more along the lines of catching a coon in a coyote set .

I believe the question involves the option of a specific furbearer target and the other optional furbearers available. Like here a set for coyote will
often take a badger or Fox.

I get paid per critter and time. I don’t care if I have 30 possums or coons in the traps tomorrow. Although 30 coyotes or cats pay more, lol. I’m just happy with a catch...target, non target, or even incidentals.

Any Catch. Bothers me for a long time to have a critter come in and no catch doesn't matter if its a skunk in a coyote set or a mink that crawled around in a coon box

No catch. I target red fox and only want red fox. The occasional coyote is seen as a bonus but no other species. I caught a possum this morning, just shook my head, wasn’t happy about it.


Eh...wot?

I prefer "No Catch". If I am targetting coyotes like I am now, that is all I want. A bonus Tom is nice, but nothing is as sweet as a coyote in a coyote set, imho

No catch. I only target coyotes and bobcats. With the wet muddy ground I'm dealing with and the short amount of time before work it's alot of trouble to have to remake a muddy set that a coon has destroyed. This week has been good, I've got 5 traps out and caught 5 coyotes and two opossum and two coons in 5 days

Looks like target or no catch is popular.
