Cannon Ball Cannon Ball trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 202 Loc: Washington , N.C.	I do not look for fox sign. I just go to the logical places and set it up. Now coons in eastern NC are a different matter. If you do not see sign there is no reason to even set a trap.

Trappn' Clown Trappn' Clown trapper Registered: 01/04/07 Posts: 421 Loc: virginia	now we are back to reality with those statistics. buzz, i trapped a few days with a friend recently and we passed on quite a few great looking locations because there was absolutley no sign and it would have been there if there was fox. could have set a trap and maybe got lucky and something passed through but when only trapping a few nights, i prefer to be on them. i really do not like checking dead sets on a hope and a prayer it will hit eventually. i want them clicking right off the jump. _________________________ "no where to be found"

Trappn' Clown Trappn' Clown trapper Registered: 01/04/07 Posts: 421 Loc: virginia	buzz, like i said, i only leave traps 2 nights, 3 tops in most cases so I want to be real close to my target, whether it is gray fox, coon, beaver, etc. if i was longlining for an extended period of time, then i would set more hope and a prayer locations knowing the percentage game would produce some fur. and i have done that and it does work. just two different ways of trapping. i like sign, you don't. i dont really care how you do it. p.s. the last guy i had down trapping already sent two more non-residents down right on top of me for the past two seasons, so what's two more? _________________________ "no where to be found"
