Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
I wouldn't worry to much about your sent although it is some what important, my moto is get in get out and you'll be fine.
Scent control is the number one thing when you are trapping!!!!! If they smell your scent they will be extra catious. If you are looking for a good website try www.trapperman.com
Criggster, first of all the # one thing is location!!!! all the sent control in the world ain't gonna do jack if you ain't in a good area and as I said it is somewhat important but if thats what you put all your effort in you won't do as good compaired to if you scout and put out your bait a week earleyer and get them to put down their gaurd and ajust to your sent.
I agree location is the number one thing when placing traps, but if you leave a lot of scent around nothing is going to step in the jaws. True after a week your smell will be very minimal, but I would rather be as scent free as possible and maybe catch something the next day rather than wait on the area for a week to produce a catch.
