Beginner Questions
I have gotten back into trapping after a couple years. Have always caught coons and possums easily but these dirt hole sets are testing my patience. I have caught one bobcat, my first ever desired catch in a leg hold, in four days which encouraged me alot. I missed a coyote by a few inches and I have had other unidentifiable activity in my dirt holes. I got all my info from watching youtube and reading on this forum but I still have plenty of unanswered questions. I am running bridger traps with hiawatha valley bait and voodoo lure and fox urine on dirt hole sets.
What do yall do when it rains like it has been? My dirt holes were filled to the brim the saturday morning and I rebaited and relured this morning.
How and where do you store bait, lure, and urine in the off season? I had it in three ziplocks in my shed for a week but could still smell it easily when I went in there.
I have read some people talk about cat sets, is this different than a regular dirt hole set and how so?
I am trapping to help turkey and deer populations where I hunt and also just because I think its a dying art that I want to be able to pass on one day.
Thanks for any tips
