Excerpt ...oil, anise oil, oil of cinnamon or oil of lavender, one or more of which is nearly always used in combination scents. I generally take a hen carcass, smear it with the musk of a muskrat, and use it for a drag, as it will make a trail that a mink is pretty sure to follow to the trap which should be set in a hole near an old stump or log if such a hole can be found, and then covered with fine dry dirt, rotten wood or what is better than either, the feathers from the chicken carcass which has been used as a drag. I find it a better way to cut the bait into small pieces and use several pieces with each trap, but if only one piece is used it is best to stake it fast. If an animal only has to make one trip into the enclosure to get all the bait he will not be as apt to be taken as if he made several trips, which he is pretty sure to do if the bait is cut into small pieces and scattered around in the enclosure. There seems to be quite a difference of opinion among trappers as to the "attractive" value of Scents and Decoys. Some praise them, while others consider them of little value. In our years of experience as Editor of the H-T-T we have read thousands of trappers' letters from all parts of America, which in addition to personal observation when on the trapping line, enables us to say that "Scents" and "Decoys," if rightly made, prepared and used are of value. There is no question but that the sexual organs of the female secured "when in heat" and preserved in alcohol is a great lure for the males of that specie. CHAPTER XXIII. HUMAN SCENT AND SIGN. There is a great deal said just now about the human scent theory, writes an Illinois trapper. Some claim that you can catch no animal if there is any human scent around, and they hardly take time to set their traps properly for fear of leaving scent. I always considered that the most important thing in setting traps was to cover them properly, and to disturb things as little as possible. When your traps are...

I have enjoyed reading "Steel Traps" by Mr. Harding from years gone by. The Harding's Pleasure & Profit Books, are the oud school of frontier living that is still practiced in the rural areas of some parts of Canada and the US. The Kindle Edition allows me to slip back to my childhood days when I ran about 6-9 traps for racoon, skunk and other furbearers. I was not a pro, as I can't even remember what I got for my pelts. $2.5 each rings a bell, but I never made much money as a kid. I have recently known fellow workers in Wyoming that trap and call in predators: coyote, bobcats and I am sure by now, Wolves will be one of their objectives. Fond memories and some not so fond concerning the skunks.Product details

Steel Traps A R Harding 9781236713155 Books Reviews
Great for the experienced and novice alike. The many variances of setting and traps along with the history was well written and easy to understand.
I own 75 trapping books in hard copy. This e-book is one of the best. Even though it was written in 1905,the traps are much the same and the animals have not changed.I found the information as useful today as it must have been at the turn of the 20th century.
Good read!
