Like many of you, we’re about to get around 18” of snow.
If you have experience trapping for canines in these conditions with footholds, can you share any tips to still find success?
I will only be able to access my trapping areas by foot.
Thank you.

Snowshoes. Wait until the dump is done, then snowshoe in and dig everything out. You might hang snares in your trail as that will be the easiest way around.


Just doing what I want now.

Thank you. No snares for me - PA requires a certification that I don’t have yet so I’m working with footholds.

I work out of a truck so it may not be an option for you but I've used a snow shovel to clear a 6-8' circle and made my set in there. Works good if you don't get a bunch more snow or high winds. You can look for locations where the wind blows most of the snow away as well if conditions are right.
