me and the kid set our first trap line
funny thing them trap lines aint never seen them in a straight line???????
like a kid at christmas i want to go peek and see whats there its going to be a restless night i hope we get a coyote but even a skunk would be fun for her to see shes been asking for sometime now and i figure today would be a good day to take her out and hunt i figure jack rabbits and coyote sets a good combo
i think i made a dirt hole set but nobody on the trapper forum im on will tell me much except to read the archives (theres over 300) kinda snooty
i found two sage bushes that grow close together and i used them as my backing in the indention between the two i dug a hole and set the trap and then just at the base of the two bushes i cleared out a hole and rammed my shovel handle in to it to give me a pocket for bait then stacked up bushes to the sides some to force the dog onto my trap when it goes for the bait
2 sets i toke old socks and cut the toes out and made a pouch to put the bait in and tied it to the base of the bush so it would fight to get it out and the set the trap i used produce bags from the store to put the traps in so they wouldnt get wet and freeze up some i used a screen and some i set with just dirt to cover
wanted to mix things and and see what ones did best
cant wait
