Got diagnosed with cancer earlier this year so started nuisance trapping to be able to trap the whole year and get in as much as I can while I can. Anyway, I thought this was a cool picture. Only set two traps and caught three today after checking them twice.
Bought some new snares with the stingers, but I’m not sure how to set the spring. I have found plenty online that show how to set the Canadian springs (the ones that look like a conibear spring), but I can’t find anything on these coil types. Any help is appreciated. Also, if you use this particular setup and have any helpful tips, please let me know. Thanks
I bought the conibear specifically for a humane quick kill. So far, I've had three escapes (once leaving fur behind) and two catches that didnt kill the squirrel. I had to dispatch it another way. I notice what appears to be a decent size gap in the bars after its tripped. I set it to the most sensitive setting. Is there a way to make the trap bars close more tightly?
Posted this once before but it got deleted. Best day of trapping I’ve had.
I’ve had these guys in the backyard for a while, tried all of the trap options with no luck. Haven’t bothered me yet but worried at some point my dog will get curious and pay the price. Avid hunter in a neighborhood with close houses. Any suggestions?
Hello everyone, ive been trapping for a number of years and I enjoy it very much, as im sure all of yall do too. Ive always trapped on my family's private land and always had access to our "bonepile" for carcasses and family's garage and sheds to hang furs. Nowadays, I live far from my hometown in an apartment with a strict garage policy, wanting to trap on public land. How can I store furs for a bit until I have time to run to hometown and flesh em out and hang. Thanks.
