Slate Slate trapper Registered: 12/22/06 Posts: 552 Loc: Carroll County, VA	I have heard both sides of this. Boil traps, wear rubber boots and gloves, if you want to catch fox. I have also heard that human scent doesn't hang around that long, not to worry about it. What are ya'll takes on this? Also, will speed dipping traps get rid of scent once the gas has evaporated? _________________________ Thank God for your blessings!

I have also heard that human scent doesn't hang around that long, not to worry about it. What are ya'll takes on this? Also, will speed dipping traps get rid of scent once the gas has evaporated? Ah yes, a question that will bring out the angst in each side. Name calling either here or else where. Play nice boys and girls. Every veteran trapper has an opinion on this subject, and the opinion in most cases is based upon empirical evidence that trapper has accumulated on his or her line or lines. In my oh so humble opinion one does not need rubber boots but I often were them to keep my feet dry. In my opinion one does not need rubber gloves. After years of experimenting I personally prefer good leather gloves but do use rubber gloves when it is wet out. Human scent? In my mind the most important thing you can probably do is learn to make sets fairly quickly and more importantly is STAY AWAY from them. By that I would mean do not beat a path in the ground to them when checking. Check by law but do not walk up and stare at them each day. Cold dip, well another can of worms. I know some very successful trappers that like it. They catch fur using it. I personally have tried it and just do not have as much confidence or faith the product as I do in a properly waxed trap. That is just me and the good Lord knows I am not a big time canine trapper. What might qualify me to write this is that I used to trap fox a fair amount when we had them and I do catch a coyote from time to time. To be honest I am an all around trapper so take my thoughts for what they are worth. Do you have to boil a trap? Some pretty good trappers just clean them at the car wash but I really think a good boiling does a good job of cleaning them up before waxing. I know I this all gets confusing as there is so much information out there and so many conflicting ideas. Remember as mentioned above, folks form opinions base on their line. What might be true in one part of the country simply may not be true in others. In summation: Keep your traps clean, move fast and take your tracks with you. I don't know about the last part but it sure sounded good when I wrote it. LOL Good luck Mac Edited by Mac (01/15/08 03:17 PM)

I wear rubber boots A) to keep my feet dry, B) to keep my scent down. I try to keep scent away as much as possible, but thats just my way and there is more then one way to skin a cat/yote or fox. _________________________ I'm just a bitter, small town midwestern , gun in one hand and bible in the other leprechan $\:\)$

Asa Lenon Asa Lenon trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 2476 Loc: Gulliver, Michigan	Lets put it this way, one can not go wrong by having overly cleaned equipment and practicing a higher degree of personal clean standards, never in history has this spooked even one wary or educated canine. Perhaps harvest numbers might suffer if one is too lax about equipment care and personal scent control standards. The degree of clean standards deemed reasonable may vary from region to region depending upon a group of variables; how accustomed canine in the region are to human scents and foreign odors such as rusty or speed dipped traps might emit, how humid or arid the country is as odors linger longer in humid areas, how educated canine have become through trapping and hunting pressure in the region, the populations of canine vs the food supply, less food and more critters equals more tendancy to risk their hides for a meal, etc, etc, etc. Adhering to all reasonable details always pays off in my opinion, racking up a maximum harvest one by one by one per traps set and time expended. My philosophy to my past students over the years has always been "think about things one might add to one's proceedure that will result in maximum eficiency, not thinking about what details might be omitted from one's proceedure and still skate by".

Martin Martin trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 710 Loc: SE Nebraska	Slate, just to give you an idea on how long human scent lasts here's a true story. When my daughter was young we went squirrel hunting. Our black and tan went with me the next weekend and trailed her step for step the entire way and got all excited everywhere she sat down to do some calling. I'm confident a k9 can pick up our smell for at least a week. _________________________

Calvin Calvin trapper Registered: 09/12/07 Posts: 958 Loc: Farminton, Minnesota	This is one reason I tuck my pant legs into my rubber boots, if I/m not wearing hip boots. We shed used skin cells all day long. These skin cells fall out the bottom of our pant legs onto the ground as we walk. Its often times what these dogs are smelling, thus tracking us. Don't believe me? In the winter around here the homeless drug addicts walk around for days without taking their pants off. They also tuck their pant legs into their socks (in the winter). Unfortunately, I have the misfortune of having to pull their pant legs out of their socks regularly. What comes out is a good about of white dust (shed skin cells). You would be surprised how much. Its a good dusting. I think one of Russ Carmans books touches on this issue. _________________________ Any day above ground is a good day.

I agree 100% from studies I've read on the subject over the years. Skin cells are falling like snow when we walk up to a set without our pants tucked inside of boots. Using this proceedure of tucking pants inside boots is leaving way less scent around a set that will not last around the set nor be as blatant near as long. In some studies I read, beagles were having a hard time after four hours duration following a human trail where skin cells had been reduced this way. Otherwise, they could still track a trail at full speed. Thanks for bringing that up Calvin! Ace

goldy goldy trapper Registered: 12/31/07 Posts: 1210 Loc: minnesota	Bloodhounds have been used to find people that have been missing for months. Like Asa said, an animal has never been spooked by overly clean equiptment. I believe canines always know you have been there, and are clearly able to decipher how fresh the scent is. Animals may be spooked by freshness and volume of scent. Stay clean and you will always catch more animals.

I live surrounded by agriculture and hay fields. I would get up and go out and check my sets at 3 or 4 in the morning.....wouldn't even bother to get dressed....... I walked right past my sets.....caught a number of 'coons and one red fox. Why? Just to say I did it. It was late summer so, quite warm yet. I also built a small stone wall and planted cucumbers in the buff.... never scared any animals that I've seen....but the neighbors don't come around!

Billfrank Billfrank trapper Registered: 12/22/06 Posts: 1185 Loc: TEXAS	If I'm trapping on my home turf then I'm real sloppy with scent control. The coyotes are used to human activity everyday.Setting traps bare handed to taking a whizz 10 ft. from the set is a everyday thing. The coyotes expect that where I trap around the house. You try that out west or up north and you are not going to get away with it. If I move into a area I have never trapped then I tighten up on scent control, but not to some extremes as stated in the above posts.I might walk away a little further to take a whizz. LOL LT....Way to much info dude! _________________________

Steven G Trosper Steven G Trosper trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 359 Loc: Perrysville, Indiana	Oh boy, this is going to open a big can of worms. I doubt canines are all that worried about human scent-if the human is NOT at the set when the canine is. Think of it this way. While standing in your back yard, you hear a train whistle. How worried are you? Not much-why? The train does not pose a threat to you. Now, your car or truck stalls on the railroad crossing and you hear a train whistle. I bet you will take a very keen interest in the sound. Why? Because now the train poses a threat to you. Around here, canines are so used to human scent, it probably goes unnoticed. For all we know, human scent may be a big attraction to canines. To them we are just another predator. They will investigate where we have been in hopes of getting a free meal. As for using fox urine, I doubt it makes much difference. The canine will still smell you. You could probably use plain water to hide human odor and get the same result. I have never seen canines running pell mell when they come across human scent out in the fields and woods. The farmer will be out on his land a lot and the animals do not run away. The farmer's 16 year old kid goes out to the bottom 40 to sneak a smoke before the old man comes home and the canines do not run to the next County. WORRYING about human scent may actually cause a chemical change in your body. This may signal to the canine something is rotten in Denmark. _________________________ Unless kids are brought into trapping; trapping dies of old age. Remember; Rush Limbaugh is always right.

I've watched animals for many years from blinds and coyote, red fox, black bear and deer all go into full alert, sometimes running away when they come to a recently fresh human scent trail. Even the lowly raccoons sometimes stand on their hind legs and look over the area before proceeding any further. Ace

I've seen fox hit my trail and take off running wide open many times while hunting. If you want to be sloppy with scent control, go ahead, but I know I catch more animals, quicker, when I'm careful.

Calvin Calvin trapper Registered: 09/12/07 Posts: 958 Loc: Farminton, Minnesota	I grew up trapping in the city of limits of St Paul, Mn (about 250,000 people). After years of trying to catch fox (no coyotes back then), I hadn't caught one UNTIL I got the scent issue under complete control. Then it became somewhat easy (lesson learned). I currenlty live in a suburb of the Twin Cities (Well over 1 million people and probably closer to 2 mill). If you don't have your scent issue in check, you will suffer greatly here, as I still run into diggers, set avoidances, etc when I screw something up. Theres a big difference from watching a coyote trotting across an open field VS getting him to commit to a little dirthole with a trap in front of it. Coyotes here still know man is the enemy, plain and simple. Edited by Calvin (01/16/08 09:47 AM) _________________________ Any day above ground is a good day.

CharlesKS CharlesKS trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 7035 Loc: Kansas,31,6-1,220,B/B NS	3 weeks is a reasonable amount of time for excesive human scent to dissapate. he didnt say if it was ONE coyote, or AMNY coyotes that came by. perhaps theyd just ate, arent interested, who knows. perhaps he was trailing another coyote, as its breeding season. any number of reasons surely every set avoindance cant be pinned to improper scent control. ANYBODY that traps much will tell you they notice coyotes that walk right on by your set and not work it. IF THE COYOTE detected human odor, or something astray, i dont think theyd totally IGNORE the set. they would eitehr investigate the set, but not get right on the pattern, or would abdruptly change thier line of travel. from my limited calling experiance, i have seen coyotes pick up my wind, and stop, and immediatly change thier line of travel. usally at a high rate of speed. i ahve seen coyotes come to as et, stop, pace, and walk on. so for one to just walk by makes me think he was pre-occupied. _________________________ without farm subsidies, you box of cornflakes will cost you 15$

MNcooner MNcooner trapper Registered: 10/20/07 Posts: 732 Loc: MN	Does the way your set LOOKS have anything to do with it? Just wondering if the scent issue isn't the only thing to worry about and maybe the actual construction of the set doesn't get enough attention. The only reason I ask is I hear guys all the time saying things like they tried 50 different variations of sets until they hit on something good. Going through the same thing now in my quest to get a coyote in a foothold. I have what I think is good scent control, rubber everything, traps boiled and waxed, etc. Good, proven lures. I'm on location with yotes circling or walking by 2 nights out of the 4 that the traps have been out. But maybe my sets just don't have "the look". Something I guess I'll have to play with a LOT. If the thing just doesn't look "right" to a critter I wonder if that has more of an impact than scent sometimes. And yes, I'm new at this so maybe I'm way off base. Go ahead and laugh me off the thread. I can take it. Good topic that has been argued before about a million times but I like the discussion. _________________________ 2007 Catch Totals: 7

I try eye appeal at one set and flat or scent post near by. I'm in southern MI, there's a good amount of human traffic and urban sprawl. Lure's are Gusto, Lennon's Nature call, Fox urine, GL40, Windwalker (June's), and a muskrat carcase. Is that too much for one set? $\:D$ $\:D$ $\:D$ Charles, I have one hay set and a flat, a dirt hole and a flat, a blind and dirt hole and flat, at 3 different locations (miles apart).

Problem is digging out all the snow to get to ground to make the set, stands out like a sore thumb. If we could get a little dusting of snow I would think it would look a lot more natural. Just trying to keep something working in this cold is hard enough. Trying to get your first yote in it is a bit of a challenge. _________________________ 2007 Catch Totals: 7

CharlesKS CharlesKS trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 7035 Loc: Kansas,31,6-1,220,B/B NS	Scent post sets are the most in-consitant set ive ever made. unlike a dirthole, or even a flat set (which a flat set really isnt much different than a scent post set if you think about it), anyway, scent post sets dont get "worked" liek a dirthoole. the whole point, IMO of a dirthole, is to make it difficult for the coyote to get to the attractor (bait, lure) OR, to keep his curiosirty peaked untill he gets caught, WHICH, and heres the lesson, KEEPS THERE FEET MOVING. Think how a scent post set gets worked. one step, a sniff of the gland lure, and if he chosses to urinate, you might get one more foot near the trap. At dirtholes, and to some extent a flat set with food attractors, you get the coyote WANTING to eat the attractor. he thinks its food, but cant see it, so what does he do? MOVES HIS FEET looking for it. Is there a grass plug or wad of sheeps wool in the hole? now he thijnks THATS the food, and 9 times out of 10 will probably try to dig it up out of the whole, all the time moving his feet around the pan. Ill tell you this, i know how to make scent posts, and yes, people certainly catch coyotes with them. I dont. ive made them over and over, and they never connect. all the same time the dirtholes over there are nailing the coyotes. As for backing, since i brought it up, i PREFER to NOT import a backing. yes, a strange rock may peak ones interest as something different, buy, IF I CAN, ill use a backing thats allread in place, a tuft of grass, a wed line on a field edge, but if its a hot location on smooth flat ground, ill bring in a backing. but ive noticed, if i can use a permanent backing, i get catches quicker. this is all, just MY OPINION, from my experiances _________________________ without farm subsidies, you box of cornflakes will cost you 15$

Asa Lenon Asa Lenon trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 2476 Loc: Gulliver, Michigan	Natural looking sets certainly are more productive than unnatural ones. Its just another factor to consider but definitely isn't a reason for 100% set denial. As Charles already pointed out, he caught several coyotes in gaudy unnatural appearing cat sets. I think possibly the sets appearance has a certain degree of importance depending upon the same variables as the human and foreign scent issue being that it varies in importance from region to region depending upon the coyote's conditioning. As I always have told my past students over the years, don't try to second guess whether a detail has significance in any given situation or not, rather practice thoroughness at all sets at all times. It is in my opinion what separates the average trapper from the legends in most every area. Ace
