[@BLUEGRASSTRAPPER]

good lookin flat set, i use a lot of flat sets and other variations of dirt hole sets. Thanks for sharing

[@Whitetail_Properties]

Thanks for watching!

[@drewcrawford2945]

I always thought the Mafia set consisted of using 2 traps, 1 in front of the other on the trail? Everything else looked very similar, only with 2 traps on the trail? Guess I was wrong, but I know I have seen that used somewhere.

[@Whitetail_Properties]

Yea haven't heard of the mafia set before..

[@bradp6821]

last year was my first year trapping- do I need to re-dye and rewax my traps from last year? or are they good to go?

[@Whitetail_Properties]

You can do it every year. Depends on how much use they’re getting

[@HabitatDave]

How was trap covered to keep dirt from under trigger?

[@eddiewiercioch777]

I find cupcake foil wrapper’s work great over top of the pan, So dirt doesn’t get underneath the pan. And the proper size.

[@Whitetail_Properties]

James was using peat moss to help from freezing and also to prevent dirt from getting under the pan. Cupcake wrappers work great, so do coffee filters and plastic screening cut to size. Anything to keep the pan from not functioning properly!

first

[@Whitetail_Properties]
