 Trap placement is the key to good catches.But the visit shows your location is correct.
 In time,everything falls into place.

congrats, trace! a track at your set is evidence of doing everything right. sometimes they are just not interested an move on. If you can keep 'em there a bit, you up the chances of snagging one (i.e. make em dig at your bait at dirtholes, make em pee on your post sets, etc.) its that extra bit of attention they pay at your sets that causes a few extra foot steps. Remember, control their nose, and you control where their feet go.

Hey Guys:

I literally know nothing about the art of trapping.  From reading your posts and the posts of others it appears to be an interesting, challenging and exciting sport.  Good luck for the upcoming season.  Sherlock Holmes would most likely have enjoyed this endeavor during his leasure downtime.  Keep posting on your future successes, as this is truly an exciting way to enjoy the outdoors.

Thanks,

JHT
