Great day
Is Night Train a bait or lure? You said you put it down pipe and in an earlier post you said it was "more meaty"
Whatever it is it definitely works;)
Its a = Food -curiosity lure. I sometimes put = lure on stick and slide it down the pipe to = Flusterate a coyote

How close to the actual trap will your Tracks app get you? With 90 flat sets I imagine sometimes you need to be reminded exactly where a set is? Do you use any other markers?

SO 3 meters each way. On a road thats lets say = North and South = puts you at about 6 meters or 19 ft. So lets say its around that. And people ask ??? How could yoy ever lose a trap???? LoL! I use a = 32 inch bamboo skewer with a red painted tip. It has a sharp end. I push it down into the ground. Strait across the road. In front of my trap. So. I should be able to = put my back against that marker. Walk straight across and step on trap

ST how many non targets caught in these 90 sets . Just curious ... Jon Yesterday. Only 1. It was a small pig. Bout 20 lbs. But I reser all 18 traps about another 12 that cows stomped on. And maybe 6 or so steeped on by mule deer. Not really all that many non targets out here. Every so often. You will get = unlucky. And have a jackrabbit by both feet. Just an unlucky hop. Had 1 like that last year. No Non targets around are a good thing for me !!! LoL!

I use an app thats free called = Tracks. It lets me = drop a pin in the color I want. = Yellow is Flat Sets. Then it lets me put = in notes what I used SO when I make a catch. I can just right it down and what lure and urine I use. At end of day I take it out of note pad. And use it to post up here Thank you for sharing your information.
