Run Early 3-4 AM
Get a good head lamp
use sets that don't stand out

What they said! Pockets stand out. Smear sets don't AS MUCH Run drowners, so the bank won't be torn up and dead give away you're there.

don't let every passer by know what you are doing. Don't park right at the bridges to check. Don't carry equipment, gear, and critters out in the open, put'em in a bag or tool box. I had a buddy that liked to trap busy roads so that he didn't have to deal with snow/mud with his two wheel drive pickup, he wore a bright yellow hardhat and orange plastic vest and had a bridge inspector sticker on the tailgate of his truck,never had any problems,carried all his stuff in a tool bag, and put critters in black trash bags to get them to the truck. We can no longer trap bridges,culverts,ditches in Nebraska,because of one stupid incident with a domestic,and an illegal poacher using traps,be careful of where you set and what you use.

So all those people in orange vests and hardhats that I see taking a nap in their trucks are probably just trappers hoping I'll write them off as government workers??? UHHHH, HUH.

For small culverts drowning rods work well. Not to drown ,but to put one end inside the culvert. The end inside the culvert doesnt have to staked,just let the coon get inside to keep it out of site.
