And for snares, I ALWAYS set an even number at every stop.

Always.

Just helps me keep track.

As I’m checking a location I’ll count them out. If I’m stuck at an odd number I know I missed one.

And miss one once, you’ll likely miss it every darn time unless it’s got something!

A good rule of thumb for remembering where your sets are is if you come to a spot that looks like a good place to have a set and it doesnt, you have a problem. If your set is in a spot when youre checking that doesnt say this looks like a good spot to put a set, you also have a problem.

Little red menards survey flags. Out of a coons reach. People ignore them

I dont like the idea of flags because they are unnatural in my area but in my area there are fences all over so the animals are used to fence poles so that is what i use. I use the same poles while muskrat trapping as well.

Here is a video of how I use them to find my sets after they get covered in snow.

x2 Best app out there!

I rarely mark sets, but when necessary it used to be a natural feature listed on a post it note. Went to the Huntstand app. and can't believe I ever lived without it

I got everything memorized in my head!

Do people really believe putting a flag on the opposite side of the trail works? laugh

Change from Garmin to OnX last year. Both work well, I just like the satellite imagery of OnX better.

I use onX. It’s simple, efficient and no guess work when you can remember.
