Think i've got all i need to try snaring some yotes. My biggest concern at this point is scent controll. I know this is gonna be a big part of it. Since i'm brand new to this i'm handling the snares quite a bit in order to get a system down for getting them set. I know this isn't a good thing, plus i'm a smoker so i know i've got them all stunk up. Right now my plan is to put all i need for a set together, snare, support wire, anchor, etc, in a coil, then maybe boil it in some kind of solution? Followed by putting each one in its own gallon ziplock bag until i set it?
What do you guys do? I read something about boiling it in a baking soda solution to take the shine of a new snare, but also figured this would help with scent elimination. Also any tips or tricks for scent controll while setting them would be appriciated. Thanks!
