If there isn't, is there any secrets you could share on these sets? “We will visit the Holy Land and see those places hallowed by the footsteps of the Savior,” -Lincoln

I often use blind set footholds at slides I make myself or their own sildes. Crossovers another good place. www.sevenoakstrappingsupplies.com for trap mods and gear The 10 Commandments are not suggestions. Buy a soldiers meal EVERY chance you can.

Experience helps determine what's fresh but look for fresh tracks and that it is damp or muddy. This time of year a castor mound works very well. Use the beaver lure I sent you. About the size if a lima bean is all you'll need and leave the twig you scoop with stuck in the ground at the waters edge so small waves carry the scent down stream. The lure is just castor and sac oil I mixed and works very well. Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Place your trap right there. Cut a platform if it’s too tight for your trap. This is one place that adjustable cable sliders shine. If it’s a steep bank, pinning a rod may be difficult. With an adjustable cable (or chain), you can pin the top end to the steep bank then anchor the deep end. Food sets and curiosity sets are other options. I highly recommend getting a couple books that have sets/diagrams to show you different sets. Dobbins is a good one
