Log set

[Coyoteslayer]

Trapping has not come easy!! For the year and a few months I had way more defeats than success lol. This year I've had more success after learning from mistakes. Today I was checking my line and a gift from the trapping gods was given. Overnight a large birch tree about 18 inches thick fell down over the swamp. About 10 feet short of being a complete animal bridge. So I lashed a 6 inch fallen branch the rest of the way and completed the bridge. Hung a few nice loops on the large tree. It just looks like a fox and coon superhighway. Especially with more rain coming. I'll add pics tomorrow. When u trap a smaller acreage parcel of land you've gotta take advantage when opportunity presents itself. And create your own when possible

I see you are from Gloucester county

You can get away with that set.

Around these parts, you would have a cat in less then a week.

Good luck.

A bobcat or fluffy the neighbors cat?

We may not have Mr bobcat but we got plenty of feral.  Lol.

Too many of those swamprat. I'm gonna set a camera up to monitor and see what action I get.

Good luck. I have caught many furbearers on log crossings. However my log crossings were seasoned and been sitting in the same spot year after year.

I figure it’ll take awhile but it’s the easiest driest route. Eventually it’ll be too tempting not to cross. Patience

Sometimes the best looking set to you won't produce because you don't walk there. What you did is too much work for me, hope it works for you.  I let them tell me where they are walking and go from there

Like all other experiments in life the future will reveal itself in due time. At worst I had a few good hours in a muddy swamp lol. At best it bears a productive spot for years to come.

Just remember that log. May not produce this year but in the future it will
