Laziness paid off for me this year on a mink and lynx!
both times it was cold, I was tired, wet, below zero and ready to go home. Both times i had a 220 on a stick that I had taken out of a zero catch area...was riding, thought, crap, i'm lazy...i'm gonna set this sucker before I leave...
the first time I was sitting on my snowgo eating smoked fish, put the skin on teh trigger and saw a hole that teh mink were coming out of in the ice...it was big, but i said, what the heck, put it over the whole where they could get around it, etc....next two days, bam, a nice mink in it..
fast forward a week...i was lazy....wet, tired, and sitting on snow go eating smoke fish...thought, crap, gonna set 220 here instead of looking around...saw fox tracks down a riven.....put 8 ft pole over the creek at 2.5 ft high, put smoke fish skin on trigger and left it....came back after one week of blizzards, dug it out, had lynx in it....
Lesson: laziness pays off for a green neck when your using smoked fish!...next year, you know what i'm packing! To heck with the skunk spray, otter gland, etc...i'm going totally smoke fish!....hehehe, the lazy mans way...
been putting the beaver musk on the triggers on my beaver sets and they have been going into those better....had a beaver chew around a 33o and drag it out of the way!...til i put the musk on it...hehehe...
