I’ve picked up some great trapping insight from this forum over the last couple of years, and still trying to learn as much as possible. I have a couple of questions for y’all with experience…..
I have reset traps after catches, and caught on the resets. But, when you pull those to move to a new location, would you boil and clean the scent off?
I think I know the answer from most based on a few replies, but when you want to set new traps and don’t have time to dye and wax, or wax alone, are you comfortable with a degreaser and high pressure wash alone before setting in ground?
I have been trying to leave sets alone once set, unless the occasional trap gets dug around. Following a heavy rain, do you rework with bait, lure, urine, etc.? One or all?
I have heard mixed opinions on this, but with a strong call lure (skunk), do you place on the backing OR a little distance behind the set, higher on a limb) just to attract them to the immediate area of the trap?
Thanks in advance for any helpful input. I have some direct feedback from a few experienced trappers, but get a mix of views on these. Just curious what your opinions are.
