We got a dusting of snow last night, not more than half an inch. When I went to check the traps this morning there were tracks all around a couple of them set on two track intersections, one it looks like they worked and was popped closed the other two it looks like they were traveling and just blew right on past. Do you make any changes when you see this happening or just leave them and hope theyll stop one of these days? I didnt think there were as many coyotes and foxes out there but I sure was humbled on that fact this mornin.

Game cameras and new snow have broke a lot of trappers hearts.


Trail cameras and fresh snow have broke a lot of trapper’s hearts.

I'd leave them if it were me. Tracks in the snow is one reason I'll often set on good location even if I don't find or can't see sign. Often there are critters if the location is good but you may not see sign. Snow is a game changer and yes can be very humbling.
