Craig Ogorman also uses BIG traps. Like #3 Bridgers and #4 all four coiled with metal screen covers and has been catching 1000 plus a year for any years. I would like to just see how a #4 with 4 coils and metal screen cover , would react to Tesla Bot ? Would there be a difference between a #3 with a screen and a #3 without screen?? I may have to find out IF it quits raining here

I just talked to our friend in Texas.He has two Newhouse traps that he could test but right now,he is too busy playing Mr Mom and nanny to a 300 lb pet calf. crazy

Probably a really stupid question. But does any dyes or wax help hide? Such as fmj

It’s not a stupid question. I haven’t really found one. Powder coating I’ve done on Cage traps and Body grips that I have doesn’t seem to make a difference.It’s certainly possible.

It probably doesn’t affect the field but it does prevent oxidation of the metal. So that would help in the detection by smell.

Could I use a Gauss meter to measure the electro magnetic fields?

It’s much easier to understand and to measure magnetic field induction when you’re using tesla or micro tesla readings.

None of the Tesla models I down loaded worked correctly on my android but the gauss meter has a nice dial type gauge that I kinda like.

Although I didn't take readings I get less avoidance/scratching with dyed and waxed coils springs with MB550 4 coils as apposed to just dyed unwaxed.

After reading the entire 9 pages of responses I remembered Locklear’s Teachers of the Night videos I’ve seen and got the impression most of the avoidance of traps was because the canines were hole shy.

In the early minutes of the TotN dirt hole, he shows a coyote work a dh set from the back and side and promptly get caught in a trap set 90 degrees to the right of the dirt hole. That coyote didn’t avoid the trap because it was adverse to its magnetic field. If trap magnetic fields are so repulsive, that female coyote would have gone around the trap on its way to the bait.

In the TotN beaver version, he films a beaver sniffing the exposed metal of a 330. That trap still must have had a magnetic field, but once the beaver felt the “new” addition to its domain wasn’t harmful, it tried to go through it.

I’m not convinced magnetic fields have all that much to do with trap avoidance. Hole shyness, yes. But the pipe dream set has shown us there are a lot of critters caught that aren’t bothered by metal screens or the traps under them. The idea that we could be setting near a fault line, or the trap has to be turned a certain direction in order to lessen its magnetism, or the moon wasn’t in the 7th house long enough or whatever: I’m not ready to think in terms of avoidance based on this theory yet.

I've put in 300+ test holes. Maybe 6 worked from back all others straight on.

You might want to go back and read all of my posts since August on magnetic field of devices. Your understanding is why you cannot grasp it.

My observations have convinced me that at least beaver, coyotes, mink, and raccoon do not avoid or even appear to notice strong magnetic fields.
Clearly though, tests show some animals can orient themselves with the earth’s magnetic field when migrating or navigating travels, and strong magnetic fields can disrupt that ability so that they navigate differently or orient themselves in a different direction when traveling or navigating. But I see no video observation based evidence that strong magnetic fields or variations affect an animals behavior or activities at a specific location. Not saying it’s impossible, just saying I’ve got a lot of video of animals doing their thing around super powerful magnets as if the magnet was just another rock. Walking on them, moving them while dam building, standing over them while munching some bait.... No effect. So for whatever that is worth, there you go.

Maybe you tested too many magnets and not trapping devices. I had too many experiences to not to believe what I have

Well that is true, I tested magnets, not trapping devices. So maybe it’s not worth much. Those who are interested may draw their own conclusions. Or not.

Teacher do you know of a trapper or have you made a trap that reduces the field by facing it to the north.Or are you just poking fun saying that it wouldn’t make a difference.Have you tested your traps during a full moon with the magnetometer.Especially cage traps. I’ve heard of trappers say that I tried and it doesn’t work. That it makes no difference. Have you tried with the traps you use. Maybe it takes a special trap.Or is that just silly.

Sounds like this Is more about the use of cage traps.
Don't know about magnetic fields and the 4 compass points. But I do know I have a better catch rate when I have my trap down wind from my bait or lured location.

If what you do and believe gives you more confidence when your trapping so be It.

All I have done is read and study. No, I haven’t tested anything.

Some of what I’ve read is that animals/birds orient themselves due to what researchers say is gravitational pull of the moon. I’ll buy that.

From what I observed of my catch this last fall, in sloppy mud conditions using both aluminum and steel screens over tightly pack traps, then covered with grass. You get where I’m coming from. Before the virus knocked me down, those pipe dream sets gave me the best season I’ve had in years. If it’s your belief magnetism is affecting your season, that’s fine. I’m not convinced it’s affecting mine.
