Jetmec OP trapper J Joined: Jan 2022 Posts: 25 NY	Down to the last week of the season here in NY. Hope to get at least 1 more critter by the 15th. My first year trapping and i got off to a late start at that. started putting traps out about 3 weeks ago and have been running 4 #2 bridgers. 1 red fox, 1 skunk and 1 possum (released). Learnt a lot this season between the forum and youtube. Next season i plan to expand onto more property and increase the number of traps I'm setting. also plan on heading upstate to take Zaggers coyote class.

Takes experience to be able to sort out who knows what they speak of. I would think Zaggers school would point you in the right direction. Good luck and embrace the challenge.

Just remake the set. If it was a dirt hole just add a little bait down the hole. No need adding more lure the fox should have put down a lot of new smell. Sounds like you are hooked. Enjoy and you will learn every day out in the field. Last edited by backroadsarcher; 02/07/22 09:27 PM.
