How long does it take for you to make a set

Takes me entirely to long lol prolly 10 minutes

I did one today one handed while recording it, 4:33.

Once I'm on location, with the required set making equipment about 1 min. Set the pole up, put the driver on it and pound it in. Slip the adjustable loop end of my snare over the pole, open the loop to the proper size, poke the end of the support wire in the wammy and bend it into position, verify height with my driver and get out. Takes longer to type that set.

Matt Jones was the fastest I ever saw.....Not going to say (you wouldn't believe it) but ridiculous fast.

Depends on the set. A baited cubby or an under ice snare set for beaver, I'm all over the map time-wise, you could say terrible. I will add that I've cut my time in half with the rat traps in a weasel box. I'm down to about fifteen minutes on those. As one of my brothers was wont to say...I'm not very good, but I'm slow.

Might turn into,
Here lies the fastest gun in the West because he could not hit anything. LOL better to do it right before you do it fast.

I’m bad slow
But I catch a few furs now and then

Never timed it, but usually it takes me longer to pick the spot than it does to make the set. From setting my pack down to picking it back up I’d say 2 minutes tops. Bedding is what takes the longest, but I’ve found that digging the bed about 1.5 times bigger than needed and then sifting half the dirt back in and pressing the trap into the soft, sifted dirt makes it a lot faster. The whole bedding process takes less than 30 seconds that way, and it makes for a rock solid trap every time.

But, never rush your sets. I got my time down just by punching in hundreds of them. Figured out how to save five seconds here, ten there, over the course of ten years to get down to 2 minutes. Organization and consistency is the key.

This can be practiced well before trapping season. I learned a new set one year at a heritage days festival and must have made it 100 times the following week. lol

real depends on soil condition , sand I'm fast , rock clay not so , frozen ground not so,

Conditions, types of sets,number of and what tools you need to use,and what critters your trapping.

And if your gear is organized and uniform.

I bet Phil Brown just about thinks them in the ground. lol

LOL

After reading some of this I have come to realize that I am in the sloth branch of the trapping family tree

Of course I am pretty green but I think it takes me around 20min but I am in no hurry, only have 1/2 doz steel traps out

Depends if I have "help" from the kids, or not. Lol
