I have three to test. Should I put all three out at once or test them individually like they would be used on the line?

I like to test individually. I look for percent's. Percentage of animals who detect the scent then work the set. IMO its the only way to know which one will catch more critters. Not just target species like say bobcats but the other fur bearers who show up as well. I keep track of the percentage of all of them. I got no problem making a coyote set and having a bobcat show up or greyfox or even a coon.

Thanks Danny.

I’m working on exclusion so other critters working it will not be a plus. lol

Is your record keeping just notes or do you have a specific spreadsheet/log?
