Screen over pan. Light coating of grass over pan. Nothing under the pan . I believe it’s the “Zag Method “.

I use the blue shop towels as a cover. I never liked the idea of anything under the pans as they tend to turn into ice blocks no matter if they aren't supposed to hold water.

Nothing but air unless it rains, then probably air and water.

I use peat moss really just around the inside of the jaws. I don't pack it under pan just what ever falls under.

Furnace filter. 100% freeze proof as it will never absorb water.

Never thought about the cheap furnace filter...I cut up a bunch of insulation from my last dishwasher install...(not an appliance man!) Also got some polyfil from our upstairs couch that got destroyed. I have also used alum screen.

What happens to all that fiberglass and other non natural stuff you guys are putting under the pans of your traps after you catch something ?

I look for mine around the catch circle, I can USUALLY find it. If not, the pieces that I DO find are minimally invasive. What's bad I pack up and haul home.

If I can find it goes in a pouch on my remake bag. Then the trash. All I leave is a catch circle at the end of the season.

Polly and a short pan notch. Or coated aluminum cover, sometimes in sand both. I use the original polly for part of the remake. Easy to find and haul off after the set gets pulled.

I'm glad that you guys try to pickup/reuse the none biodegradable items, I hate seeing garbage left by hunters and trappers.

I've not been a fan of Clint Locklear after seeing him show how he baits his dirt holes, he uses a plastic spoon gets his bait breaks it to use the other end for lure the throws the pieces into the hole. Why not use popsicles sticks they are pretty cheap and are biodegradable, just makes no sense to me that a Outdoorsmen would just leave trash everywhere they go.

I know some will be rolling their eyes at this but to me it's nature, woods, creeks, rivers, ponds , etc. Why dirty up where we love to go.

Ok start the bashing.

I normally use a stick from the immediate area...even cheaper than popsicle sticks!
