Great looking sets Rasbo. I also like to leave the back open on some of my sets and some I like to brush in like yours. Nice looking cubbies. Do you guys have skunks out this time of the year? If so, be careful when approaching :)I'm sure there are skunks out...I'm worried if I leave the back clear they will dig under from the backside..after setting these up.I'm thinking I want guillotine traps....

Some use a cut piece of plywood that is as long as the trap WITH door open
The benefit of making the entrance out in front of the trap is in the snow...allowing the door to close and lock.......
I have some yancy trap that are guillotine.... weather and rust affect the operating system
Schroeder fur out of Nebraska make some quality cages...
Good luck to ya!

I dont know how long you have had your traps out but if you set them on good sign then I would leave them for at least 10 days. It has been my experience that when I set on good cat sign if I dont have one in a couple of days I usually get them in the 7-10 day mark. Good Luck!

Nice sets!
I cant wait to see whats in them. :)

For the castors, I just kind of chop them up, pull the membrane off the outside ( a little easier if you let them hang for a few days and dry a bit), and throw them in the container. I then take the oil glands and do a slice at one end and then squeeze it into the bottle to. Take that and mix it all together - Rubber gloves are good for this whole process by the way. Then on the line, just take a stick and mix it around in the container, then place the stick where you want the scent. The breeding season is on right now, so those two should be prime if your going to use it for beaver sets, might turn the kittys on too, who knows. REI has those Nalogen bottles that are pretty scent proof, they have one larger in size than what I gave you that would be a little easier to get everything into.
Not recomended that you get this on your person or clothes.... it takes a long time to get that beaver smell out :chuckle:

" I cant help but get caught up in what the old trappers might be thinking or doing back then..really a cool feeling...thanks Eric..Oh,and rainshadow built me a scaled down version of a Russell buffalo skinner,that knife works great on beaver...
Pop always said he was born a hundred years too early. I use to think living the Mountain Man life in the 1800's would be the ultimate. Then I read Crow Killer, the story of Liver Eatin Johnson. Yeah, maybe it wouldn't be the ultimate - you never knew when someone was going to be after your scalp. Ah, what the hell, not all that different than today, just more in your face. ( by the way, the Robert Redford version is not even close to the true story, way to warm and fuzzy - go figure)
