I have lurked in the shadows for a while now reading and learning this crazy hobby of trapping from this page. I have met some of you in person and others have pointed me in the right direction and I would just like to say thank you. Its been very fun learning and figuring out how all this work. I definitely look at the woods a little differently now.
I set up a trail cam with a bait station up in a tree and let is soak for 2 weeks. I covered the bait with some tree branches to avoid the aerial preditors. A hawk must have been spying on me
. He was at the bait an hour after I left. I had put a good chunk of skunky lure up as well. So multiple videos of a hawk messing with my bait and then night falls and low and behold 2 civit skunks desperately trying to climb the tree. They would try just about every night. Over the corse of the 2 week soak i got the the skunks, a big wooly coon and 1 maybe 2 bobcats. Pulled the camera and put in a few sets
