How to make a bucket set

Step one, make sure it is legal.

Step two, find a clean bucket and cut two groves into the rim about 3 inches deep on opposite sides and about 1/2 inch wide. ( I only cut the groove to the last ring)
 
3.  Make sure you have a safety on the 220 and make sure that it fits correctly.

4.  Place the bucket with a good sized chunk of fish or muskrat meat in a spot where there is evidence of target animal activity.

5. Place set trap in the groves with the trigger on the bottom(this is so that the mink will get caught also) and the safety hooks released.

6.  Stake the trap so that nothing can steal your catch.

7.  MOST IMPORTANT, DO NOT PUT WHERE YOU ARE GONNA GET SOMEONE'S PET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (or kid)

There is a certain amount of responsibility involved when you choose to use this set. You have to really think before you use it. One bad incident and you can give all trappers a black eye.

I have only ever got one person's dog in over ten years, It was a few miles from home and tresspassing on my friend's land. This was the owner's fault. But it cost me some of the best possible trapping land I could ever have had.
