This is always a topic of diverse beliefs and practices. How often do you rebait a set. I tend to think every week is enough but what do you all think?

After only one week, things are probably just beginning to mellow out. A lot probably depends on humidity in your region. I try to stick with about two weeks, but I'm sure some guys would say that 3 is alright. Then again, after three weeks, many would pull the set.

I'd pull it after a week unless it was a cat or mink set. Bout the only time i rebait during fur season is after a flood...shane

canines... never

cats... remakes.... otherwise...never on lure... maybe once a week if i am using a big bait in cold weather

After week, aren't you pulling, moving on to fresh faces? I would assume the rest of your line has caught majority of whats there to catch anyway.

And a lot of this question depends on what species your trapping and baiting I'd imagine.

nick...not necessarily...

i have a few sets right around the house here that i keep open all season long...

A few sets Kirk.

But the majority aren't set in place for months at time, at least I would hope not! lol

To each his own,I personally rebait mink,or K-9 sets with fresh bait around 3-5 days. If useing stink bait most times never as as stated time to move sets.
It also depends on where the set is. If it's at a river crossing or something similar they stay till the weather forces me to move them.
Some big buck mink take a week or better to return.
Some hot spots for fox can produce all season, if their territories cross.

about 10 i keep working for yotes all season

I only re-bait if they steal the original bait.

Bi weekly and depends how much rain

If the bait's still there, why replace it?

or better yet.. if the smell is still there????

I am not talking hunks of meat and Nick yes I set the same mile section of creek behind my house all season. And I caught plenty of coon and five nice cats. I am with Kirk if the smell is gone I rebait, of course I can not detect odors like the critters but it is still helpful to see what others do.

why rebait a set that aint making catches for coyotes anyway.

if it makes a catch, rebait. if it dont, your in the wrong spott!

i am opposite of charles... eventually a dumb coyote will inadvertently step on my trap...LOL

dey call me da jinx man...lol
