I learned a lot from Polwoll's posts. I also watched several Management Advantage videos and also some from Hoosier Trapper Outdoor. I have 6 MB550 traps that were cleaned, dyed and waxed. I added shock springs and have some lures and baits. Finally got 5 days off in a row and looks like rain will limit me to Fri/Sat/Sun to trap. The property is about 1 1/2 hrs from where I live so getting 5 days in a row where I can stay on property is rare. Ideally I could check traps daily for 1 week to 10 days but that won't be possible for awhile. Was hoping to trap coyotes, fox and bobcats. May also set out some duke traps for coons. Only animals I have ever trapped are some beaver which I was successful at removing from my pond. I am excited to get at it but don't want to spend time setting the traps and have everything washed out or needing to be reset right after I get them out.
