A few years ago I didn’t have much bait, I did have a bunch of California ground squirrels frozen. Cut them in half and caught all sorts of stuff. If I remember right I had a weasel, lots of marten and a badger in my sets. The squirrels stink bad. Beaver is also my favorite, does not dry out and is pretty bloody.

I’ve been having really good luck with Jeremiah’s sweetness lure in the box by the beaver. Cavens tree climber in the box has been good as well. Jeremiah’s LDC on every set outside the box.
