Did a bit of prep work today. Checked in with a couple of my landowner friends and re-secured permission. Did some tractor work too. My father hasn't cut the grass in "the back field" for a couple of years. Talking about 6 -7 acre dog leg portion at the end of his clover hay field. Took the bush hog and cut a couple trails through the tall grass in hopes that they will become travel ways for canines in the next couple of months '
On a completely unrelated note I have a question. I am a self taught and piss poor trapper which is why I love it so much, learn a little more every season, catch a little more each year, or at least some thing different. I know enough to know that there are no hard and fast rules for making sets, everybody has there own preference but here is something I'm considering. I have acquired and have in my freezer about 100 lbs of "dog bones" given to me by a local meat processor. These are large bones cut into pieces suitable for a pet. They are full of marrow with bits of meat scrap attached. I am planning on a simple set plan of digging a hole in a hillside, bank or similar, burying a bone or two or three and placing a flat set in front of the dig. Thoughts?
