bowhuntaz1 Report post Posted January 8, 2014 This is my first year trapping and i've been only catching skunks.Is there any way I can keep from catching them? What kind of trap are you using? What kind of lure/bait? If you can adjust your pan tension on the pan to about 3 lbs that would help. Stay away from fishy lures/baits. Any pictures of your set up?

SanPedroCoues Report post Posted January 8, 2014 The traps are duke #2 and I'm using fox frenzy by mark June's and some old chicken and I'm using dirt holes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowhuntaz1 Report post Posted January 8, 2014 Try a trash pile set with a cat gland lure. Basically make a cubby hole with one entrance, and toss some gland lure in the very back. I'm not the best at footholds. Try to PM Hyperwrx He is alot better than I am and is way more successful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hyperwrx Report post Posted January 9, 2014 If you are in an area with skunk its tough to not keep them out of a foothold. I have had a number this season. Set the pan tension on your foothold tighter. Some more recent catches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
