I check them from as far away as possible (from the seat of my atv) and don't mess with them unless the trap is exposed by the rain. I want them to look natural. Bait and lure is going to be fine unless the hole is full of water.

The 4 coiled #4 I am using is going to fire through mud. The only time it won't fire is when frozen done. We are a ways from worrying about that though... =)

I had to add some peat moss to 2 this morning where the jaw was showing. Caught one pup and turned a possum loose this morning.
