8O HUNTER'S AND TRAPPER'S GUIDE. 



tie a string to your bait and drag it for one 

 hundred or two hundred yards to a large 

 tree, to which you may fasten it, letting it 

 swing five feet from the ground. Place two 

 or three traps at the foot of the tree, the 

 length of their chains apart ; conceal them 

 well and make them fast to a stake, leaving 

 everything about the place as natural as you 

 can. Place two or three traps on the trail, 

 using eight or ten drops of the mixture of 

 urine and asafetida on both sides of your 

 traps. 



The wolves on striking this trail will fol- 

 low it to the bait, some getting caught on 

 the trail and some at the foot of the tree. 



Remove and stretch the skin of the wolf 

 in the manner described for that of the bea- 

 ver on page 64, but the legs of the wolf should 

 be split.
