john, how much polyfill are you using to put under your pans? And just fill the whole are under the trap to keep the dirt out, from inside jaw to inside jaw? I think I may give your method a try when I get to go again. Thanks!! I just roll it up in a ball and stick it under the pan, sift peat moss inside the jaws and sift dirt over that. They are pretty weather proof. Rain doesn't seem to affect it much. Sometimes if it rains really hard ill have to go back an sift alittle more dirt over them. I'm sure you can do good with just peat moss but it gives me alittle piece of mind knowing nothing is getting under the pan that will cause a miss.

Hey johnv........Is all of this trapping that you've been doing in Morgan County???.....Seems like you said you've been doing it for a few years now......Are there other folks around you trapping too??.....Curious because the turkey kill numbers went way up in that area this year.

Im just a few miles from the Morgan County line but I'm in Marshall County. I don't know any other trappers around me

Im just a few miles from the Morgan County line but I'm in Marshall County. I don't know any other trappers around me It may sound crazy to some but I think folks like you who are really trapping hard are likely having a bigger impact than most of us realize and you could be a big part of the reason that big increase in turkey kills happened in Morgan Co if there's a rather isolated population occurring right there in your area.....Even though you may only be trapping "X" amount of acres.....I think you could easily be impacting the yote population for miles around if you're trapping along a main run......I think I may have something similar going on with coons and possums.

Yeah, I’d say you’re definitely making an impact….That’s a lot of predators you’re taking out. If there was one guy like you in every county across the state I bet that alone would make a HUGE difference. Something I’ve thought about it the past that I think would get us our biggest bang for our buck is if we took each county and looked for main coyote travel routes within that county for folks to trap…..I call them coyote highways…..big scale travel routes…… I know I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know but trapping is like real estate……location, location, location……….This is a situation where I think if we could get things coordinated just right then it would also be “work smarter not harder”……You can make wholesale changes by having just a few folks whacking and stacking yotes along main big scale travel routes. Trapping the right locations can snag lots of catches.

Not complaining though im sure I'll learn something one way or another. Pretty sure my spots are just trapped out which I'm not complaining about. Haven't found any fresh sign worth mentioning
