I want to get "back" into trapping
I want to start trapping again. I decided not to trap yesterday, but have decided against that decision. I went coyote hunting tonight and had no luck. I have no hunting partner, so I cannot hold the light up and shoot at the same time. I do not want to hunt in the day because this road it is common for dump trucks taking turns at 50 mph. I see 20 dump trucks an hour. I do not want to let a bullet fly when there are people around.
This is the reason I have decided to trap the coyotes. Here are the rules for trapping in MS:
It is illegal to trap with the aid of bait, recordings of bird or animal calls, or electrically amplified imitations of calls of any kind. However, liquid scents may be used.
I want to trap the coyotes but do not know how I can. I have read about a scent post, but have no clue how to do it.
Here is a list of the questions:
1. What size traps do I need?
2. What do I need to do to the traps when I get them? IE wax, dye, etc.
3. Where should I put my traps?
4. What type of setup should I use?
5. How should I set up my setup?
Thank you for all of your help.
