Use a stout anchor stake or tree trunk to attach your non-lifting snare too. Use game fences to funnel animals into your traps. A game fence is nothing more than a row of sticks stuck into the ground on both side of the trap and lightly camouflaged with foliage. Do go over board on the camo job. Small sticks for small game and larger sticks for large game.
Rocks work well at the entrance of culverts.
If you have scent lure use 6 - 8 drops to lure the animal into or through the snare or trap. Mean students place the scent up just before the trap. This doesn t entice him into your trap. Check your traps every morning and from a distance so as not to disturb the surroundings. Mark your snares with some kind of sign so that you will not forget where they are.
