On the trap line 
bait is in an enclosed cubby pen there 
is no need to cover it. 
One of the best bait sets used by pro- 
fessional trappers for fox and fisher is 
to pin the bait to a snag on a tree 
trunk, just above the jumping reach of 
the animal. The logic in this set is 
that the animal keeps its eye on the 
bait, nose in air and thus doesn’t dis- 
cover the hidden trap on the ground 
under the bait. It is reasonable for the 
animal to suppose a bird has cached the 
bait, or a tree-climbing animal lost it in 
ascending. The position of this set is to 
be preferred to one on the ground, for 
the animals mentioned, because the bait 
can be seen and smelled further, and 
the animal will make several jumps to 
reach it, thus assuring a sprung trap. 
' Blind sets work better for the com- 
mon fur bearers until heavy snow falls, 
when they will be forced to take bait. 
The trap should be set in a trail or 
other place where the animal will be 
sure to tread the pan in an unsuspecting 
moment. 
When baits are used, it is advisable 
to use a scent that will attract the ani- 
mal to the set. If the weather is not 
freezing, a fresh, bloody bait for car- 
nivorous animals is better when used 
alone. If the weather is cold enough to 
freeze meat there will be no perceptible 
odor to attract the animal, hence the 
reason for using a scent. If the bait 
is a fish, the logical scent to use is fish 
oil. The rotted flesh of house cats, 
muskrats and skunks are often used, 
especially for fox. It will also attract 
other fur bearers. 'Most fur animals 
will eat, and some prefer, tainted meat. 
To the rotted flesh should be added a 
few drops of skunk musk and the scent 
glands of several muskrats. This con- 
coction is perhaps the best universal at- 
• tractor scent-bait in use.

In transactions between strangers, the 
purchase price in the form of a draft, 
money order or certified check payable to 
the seller should be deposited with some 
disinterested third person or with this of- 
fice with the understanding that it is not to 
be transferred until the dog has been re- 
ceived and found to be satisfactory.
