[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2284931, member: 91783"] Now then I've got my traps and pan covers ready to use . My trapping supplies are put together in a square bucket . the hammer to pound my stakes in with the digging end welded on it , the dirt sifter so I don't get rocks and sticks that will keep the jaws from closing properly and let an animal get out of it . My lure is kept away from every thing else so that it doesn't contaminate anything with it's smell . I find a trail they are using then find a good short backing they can see over on the up wind side , our wind normally comes from the west here , and off of the trail a few feet 2-5 feet , I don't like setting in or close to the trail as I don't want deer or antelope tripping my trap or being caught in it , it's set for coyote ,fox ect. not deer ect. and if they are caught in it or it's sprung by them I can't catch them . So for me animals are like people most of them are right pawed so out in front of my backing and facing it I dig my trap bed big enough and deep enough for the set trap to fit easily in it then I drive my steak or stakes . I pull on the chain to make sure it is solid and won't pull out easily . Set my trap and click the pan into the notch , put my pan cover on then set it in the bed lift the free jaw up and check that no dirt or any thing has gotten under it put the pan cover under it and push it down firmly making sure that the trap is solid pack some dirt around it to make it solid then sift dirt over it blending it all in so it looks as natural as I can get it to . I use a cotton ball or small cow pie as a lure holder and just a small amount of lure on it to much and they don't need to get very close to satisfy their curiosity . [/QUOTE]
