Hi All,
I have a question about cage traps. I used to trap with legholds & conibers before the ban, but have no experience with cage traps. I cleaned and dyed and waxed my traps before putting them out. I did not do all this at first, other than a wash down. After reading up on trapping (I was learning as you go, so to speak), I began to do this and my catches increased considerably.
What type of prep is needed on cage traps before setting them out? Aside from a washdown to get any oils or whatever off them, is there anything that you guys do special to treat them?
Have been thinking about picking up a couple of cages and setting them out this year. Just wondering if there is anything I might need to know to speed up the learning process a bit.
Thanks.
