presifted is right- when I see hindredso f mounds a day, we can pick ones with "good dirt".
no, never tried waxed dirt, althought I feel once I do, i'd never go back. I talk to far too many that use it, and love it. You are right, the gopher dirt would be ideal.
problem is, so to speak, I cna get byb with dry dirt. The majority of my canine trapping takes place before the real cold and snow, so usually dry dirt and peat moss do the trick. Then later winter, once its stabilised, dry dirt again does the trick.
stef has tried waxing everything- dirt, sand, peatr moss- and he likes waxed sand better- has less weight per pound being main advantage, plus it beds a trap well.
don't know if this is permitted, but there are several good threads on waxed dirt, sand etc with pics on CRU.
