Most any sort of animal is apt to 
travel a secluded land animal trail and 
for this reason the trapper takes the pre- 
caution to set a large trap. The trap 
for this purpose is a double spring No. 3, 
which will hold the fox or ’coon. Every 
precaution against leaving human odor 
or give-away signs should be taken, for 
one never knows just what will blunder 
along the trail. The trap may be set for 
a ’coon, which would not scare at the 
smell of rusty iron, but an otter is likely 
to take a short cut across land and meet 
up with the way-laying trap. If the 
trap has been properly set and clogged 
so the animal cannot get a steady pull, it 
will get the wariest and strongest ani- 
mals. 
It is the study of these peculiar habits 
of the fur bearers and attention to de- 
tails and precautionary matters that 
make for successful trapping. He who 
sets a trap carelessly for the skunk just 
because this particular animal is a 
dummy will never get a maximum num- 
ber of catches. Any animal is apt to 
occasionally get off its beat. I once 
crossed an otter trail in the deep woods 
several miles from water. Although a 
semi-water animal, the otter often 
crossed from one body of water to an- 
other, and at such times is apt to blun- 
der into a fisher or fox trap. 
Again I have caught the fisher and 
lynx, land animals, in traps set in the 
water for mink. Once I caught a fox on 
a sand bar a hundred yards from shore, 
which was unusual and remarkable, con- 
sidering the “killer” set for this animal 
is one specially designed so the fox steps 
on the camouflaged trap in the effort to 
keep its feet dry while reaching for the 
bait pinned further out in the water! 
T HE correct use of scent baits for 
fur bearers is a science. The trap- 
per must know the habits of the 
fur bearers as well as a mother knows 
her child to intelligently use scents. 
Their logical use is a profitable asset to 
the trapper; their ignorant use a detri- 
ment. 
During the early months of the year 
fur bearers are traveling more than at 
any other period. At this time they are 
able to procure plenty of natural food, 
and for this reason blind sets made in 
trails and dens are more satisfactory. 
Unless bait sets are skillfully made, the 
bait appears suspicious to the animal. 
Few trappers know how to use a bait in 
the right way. 
Many animals have the habit of cach- 
ing the remaining portion of a kill. 
Other animals will rob these caches 
when the opportunity is offered. Some 
animals are parasital in this respect, 
depending almost exclusively for a liv- 
ing on the caches of preying animals. 
Now an animal’s cache is usually hid- 
den, or at least placed on the ground in 
an isolated spot, certainly never sus- 
pended on the end of a stick as bait 
is customarily exposed by the amateur 
trapper. Lightly cover your bait with 
leaves and leave it to the animal’s keen 
sense of smell to ferret out the lure. 
The covering has the further advantage 
of preventing birds from stealing the 
bait, since they depend on sight. If the
