FINALLY in the game! Got 10 cables up, and three traps in the ground late this afternoon. Little bit of coyote sign around, but between the deer tracks, and the drifting snow, it was tough to tell much else. A good sharp hatchet was my friend getting trap beds dug. I did NOT use any calcium on these sets yet. I'm experimenting with another method of keeping traps working without it, or any other chemical. Made a scent post, big hole step down, and hay pile sets. Mostly loud, highly visible sets. Did not use urine on any of the sets. DId not bait the hay pile set with anything but a mouse nest, and one of it's occupants. Big hole only got a chunk of tainted deer meat and a piece of white hide as a visual. Scent post got some beaver castor, and tad bit of fox gland lure only.
