Most anything will work if it contrast with the background color when fluttering in a breeze. For a set location attractor I used a 4X6 inch piece cardboard, brown on one side and white on the other. When fluttering in a breeze the white stands out against the dark forest cover background and the brown against the snow, like a flashing neon sign. This flasher is placed about 5-10 feet out side the cubby where it can be seen from several long distance directions within hare activity areas.

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

Dove season always provides plenty of real wings for this guy but I don't trap in a state that makes you go store bought.

I learned a lot about flagging from old Jimmy Shank. He showed me how a white plastic bag up against black spruce bush would draw a pack of wolves across a frozen lake in winter so they could hit the jackpot. He also taught me about using flagging as a diversion to activate sets.Gets canines to go off a trail into blind snares set weeks before.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

The 1st cats I caught were on grocery bags tied on a cedar limb. If I use flaging now it's usually vhs tape.
