PA	when you guy's and girl's catch grinners in fox sets do you pull the trap and put a clean set in a few feet away the reason i'm asking is because i have always been told by other trapper's in my family that after you catch a grinner a fox will not go near the set because of the sent some please let me know cause i have some really good fox set's out and i don't want to relocate them

There's always a clean set unless you get double possums. However, all that scent in the ground is going to get some attention from any passing canine. _________________________ Please support Hunt of A Lifetime! www.huntofalifetime.org

RESET RESET and then RESET some more. keep that trap in teh ground as much as you can! that is 20 some odd reds one skunk and a few possums later... and if i woulda left it set i woulda caught more not a doubt in my mind, same trap from day one to the end. if you set it, they will come kinda deal $\:\)$ Edited by trapper54 (Wed Nov 18 2009 03:58 PM) _________________________

If it's loose soil go deeper _________________________ A government that doesn't trust it's law abidding citizens to bear arms is unworthy of trust itself.

Foothold traps.. if you think you might end up with a coyote in it, use atleast an 18 inch Cable Stake..... CR..If your setting where there are coyotes, a 12 inch Cable Stake will hold them! I can pull a Cable stake out of the ground without the use of a Cable Stake Puller...but a coyote in a CR, can not pump a stake like they can when they are caught in a foothold...to much distance for them that they can not do the jump and pump when in a CR, that is what he had explained to me....footholds, use a longer Cable Stake.. CRs, use a shorter 1! _________________________ Why worry about the Laws?
