Pick a trap that plenty big enough for the target, and place a can for the bait UNDER the trap so it's sticks out about 1/2 way from under the trip pan. Make sure to stake the trap solid so it can't be be rolled.

As far as the newer style triggers like dekalb and comstock make, do you bait with a different system? If the critter passes through the wires w/out getting caught on a dbl door, you have missed the chance The wire trigger has an advantage in that, as an option, you can hang the bait on the trigger. Just bend one of the wires to the back of the cage in the 30" traps or hang in middle with a longer trap. I reccommend the 36" in most cases because I feel it doesn,t limit the trapper as much.(reffering to double doored traps)

I'm sorry Pesky, there are only 24 hours in a day and you spend half of them on here. If you do all that you claim, do you ever sleep? LMAO you guys are cracking me up. Reminds me of a certain song by Brad Paisley

Mountain spring water. That's all I drink.I don't mean the store bought stuff either. I drive out to Colorado once a month from Ohio. I drive a tanker truck I single handedly modified with a puralator . I line the bottom with 2 feet of mossy mountain stream rocks and even have some brook trout swimming around in there on the drive back to retain the ' right from the stream' taste . Feel sorry for you saps who drink anything else but the pure taste of mountain spring water... will have a video on YouTube shortly of me pumping the stream' down and hand grabbing a couple dozen of the trout. Might even show you how to properly set a comstock trap to catch rainbows in the same stream... no bait. Sweet

Not everyone would be so passionate about water. pocketjax my hat is off to you. looking forward to seeing the youtube footage. I'm surprised you go through an entire tanker every month, or are you selling some on the side? LMAO

Just wondering what new trap ur working on now? What would it be used for? I'M always interrested in new innovative equipment to use.

i like to start by putting my equipment near the hole or onit what have you. solid with screws or t bar staked. no foam or duct tape involed, for several reasons. then i bait up and lure every trap. why not its costs almost nothing and it doesn't hurt. i try to use jamensons stuff because it smashes critters very hard. fireball is my favorite goto. thousands literally have been smashed on fireball and marshmellows or apples. i do not hang a little sponge in the back of my trap soaked in lure thats probably too much lure anyway if its good stuff, that is kind of dumb and border line sissy. use a stick or something more trapper style not sponge bath style. and holy crap cat food has got to be the last thing i'd stick in my trap on a nuisance job. i will agree with bob and trapper for hire on that issue. Unless i was trying to smash feral cats. who wants to hear about MRS Smith who got chewed up by her own cat trying to release it at 7am before calling you. not using bait is semi foolish, are we trying to entice an animal here or what. i even put a couple peanuts in my one way colonies for squirrels mounted on the hole. nothing wrong with some extra bait.
