Mr Phil, if you got a rumble or a YouTube I’d like to see your stuff too!!
I’m wet behind the ears and dumb and Savell taught me everything all wrong!!

Its out thereabout, I was only kidding,lol

good grief.

… I knew that killer lol

.. but if you’ve got a tip put it in here for sure

Set construction my way is as simple as it comes, its other stuff to me is far more important that could change the way some would trap if they would keep an open mind.But remember,im geared to catch masses, not individual animals,or a few. Its a different mindset, and most are not after what I'm after.And that is not a bad thing.there are many variations of set making ,most likely ,none are wrong, and most are good, and right for the individual.Im good with it all.

…. Well you have a proven system for sure

… any description of your go to set would be appreciated

And another thing Savill,I was expecting a comeback such as a derogatory comment about me being a Yankee,,,which would of put a smile on my face!!

lol…. I got to watch it with you…. You’ve killed too many things in your life lol

Have you noticed , where he makes his sets?
Take a long look at the where , not the obvious easy place.
Stay away from a woods line, as night hunters work them.
Swales , dips and crop lines , intersections of paths and crops .
Funny I never realized that until watching his videos.
Looking back, I caught more fox away from the woods.
LOL had I known what I realized watching his videos, was never close to the hardwoods.
I would of saved hundreds of traps that were stolen along with the fur!
Hated the fur boom, once certain night hunters came around.

You didn't set a snair.

…. Do you catch most of your critters in snares Sage ?

When winter sets in and I start rotating I generally run mostly snairs.
Lots of frozen critters. Early on mostly trapps.
Good video.

Test the soil with your pilot hole first before you dig your bed. If you hit rock that you can't get through, moving the pilot a few inches, or at a slight angle, will get you around it most of the time.

For some reason I was under the impression that Savell sounded like Yosemite Sam when he talked, rather than a fine Southern gentleman.

Good video Savell. Getting that trap solid is very important. I set the trap with my feet also, one thing I started doing is setting the trap before I get down on my knees. Saves just a little bit of time and effort of getting up and down during a long day of setting. Probably doesn’t seem like much, especially to the younger folks, and I would have probably made fun of someone that suggested that to me 10 years ago but it does seem to help me.

Thank you .

Lol…. I’m in East Texas …. The yosimete sounding hands are out West
