DanielE trapper Registered: 12/30/06 Posts: 5066 Loc: Eastern NC	Yep...I'm all ears as well. I though it was when you used lure on a tree in the water and put a snare next to it....??? _________________________ Originally Posted By: big_twinhd I agree with DanielE

Jtrapper "Washeduphasbeen" Registered: 12/22/06 Posts: 15032 Loc: Alabama (Bama for short) 108 y...	I don't have control of the tv anymore, got a 4 year old living here, spongebob is his hero and i now know more about spongebob, scooby doo, barney and power rangers than i ever wanted to, lol. My version of a smear set, is to take your boot and just 'smear' a spot on the bank at water's edge, put a few drops of sac oil on the smear and set a large foothold trap under the water under it. Great set for spooked beaver that won't fool with snares or conibears. _________________________ Everytime I make my mark, somebody paints the wall!
