I would set snares around the brush in the creeks. I would also try and set snares on all the coon trails and beaver runs .

I would try a hay set on the sandbars. Maybe that might work.

Use your old dirt hole's and bed the trap in insulation pellets. Shawn Johnson wrote a article in FFG about it once and it was a great article. I know we have some MN trappers on here that know him. Maybe he can make a post, it would be insight full and great.

Use methods just like dirt trapping only on the ice. Use good drags (few times have used cordless drill and bit to go through ice and used long earth anchor to reach bottom). Sprinkle excess dirt around set. Learned this method when living in Minnesota. Dirt pattern on ice or snow draws them.

use snares at pinch points...if you have access to a beaver carcass or deer carcass...put in middle and set snares 20 or so yards away at pinch points...if no access to carcasses..use your favorite canine lure and/or bait...it will work as a draw....
when I use a carcass I actually wait til they are eatin on it before I set up...they will generally make their own trails but will use yours sometimes

I'm far from a expert on the subject. That said from what I have read there are some insulations (little tiny white pellets kind of like packing peanuts are best) that can be used, pete moss and the Hal Sullivan snow set.

So do you chisel down into the ice first? I like the packing pellets idea.

If there is no snow you can use a hammer like the sod buster and chip a bed. But I would recommend waiting till you have snow then using your fist make a bed. |
