I'm sloppy with lure.I don't know how many times I've got it on my fingers or on the label then on my gloves.I hate eating a sandwich with coyote gland lure.
I love the smell of coyote gland lure early in the morning.It smells like victory!!

sometimes i leave an unproductive set in the ground too long thinking it will eventually connect.  This year if a yote set hasent hit in a week im moving it to greener pastures....but i will let otter and cat sets out as long as i dont have a better spot to set them.

NOT BEING ORGANIZED !!! The first day is ok , then everything goes south . I try to hurry too much and instead of putting lures back in the lure holders , the go in my pocket . Traps get tossed in the back of my truck bed , all this usually leads to 3-5 trips to the truck per set to get what should've benn in my "organizing" bucket . NOT GOOD !!!!! :x
If an animal activist is being mauled by a bear should we stop it , or , " let nature take its course?"

Procrastination.
Every year I set out early in year planning to be organized, have equipment cleaned, tuned, dyed, organized, land lined up and scouted, etc.
Seems like last several years I end up "scouting" by carrying stuff to same locations used in prior years hoping for sign and similar results. Good spots seem to hold up year after year, but one of these years I'm going to march in with exactly what I need, where I need it, and have a better game plan. I'll be dying traps this weekend, by the way. Something I should have done a couple months back by my "original plan". Just got through the last of the tuning and replacing parts, so am ready to dye traps now. Season opens in a couple weeks, too. Nothing like waiting until the last minute...
