Get a note book and keep a log of sets . I used to do that all the time. Lure,bait, trap type, set type, location, catches anything you don’t want to trust to memory. This. And the weather conditions. Or anything I see that needs remembering from the day It will seem like a lot of extra time with a pen in your hand, but it's worth it End of the season I go over all of it and write the information in a composition table I save the small notebooks as well

a good record helps if you get a stolen trap, to know what brand it was

I use OnX Hunt. Pin trap location and fill in the data that I want to know about the set. Adding a photo of the set is also available.

Colored golf tee is what I was taught. Always placed in a predefined location like one step ahead and 2 steps left.

I keep a notebook with me in the field and scribble notes and diagrams at each set that is then transferred to my logbook at home.
Eh...wot?

Put out a line with all the same lure. Its the only way to test one. Too many variables to use several different ones in an attempt to evaluate them.

When I was running strictly a coon line I used one lure on everything. Notes I kept were more about number of sets and location. Hard to remember where everything is when you have out large numbers of traps. Harder when you start moving them around. When I do k9 sets its usually 2 or 3 to a location. What lure is on each is just a single letter in the location notes. I was never good at taking notes in highschool. So my note pad I keep would be pretty hard for someone else to figure out. For me it was more about keeping track of traps than what lure.

I use OnX Hunt. Pin trap location and fill in the data that I want to know about the set. Adding a photo of the set is also available. I do this as well as a notebook as a backup should I lose or damage my phone. Pictures also help locate my sets with heavy snow.

If you use multiple lures, what do you do for a change up? Especially since most lures are the same stuff. 2-3 lures and a couple baits are plenty
