Techy, nice to see a new face here!
I only ran 8 to 11 cages this year, I have run up to 30 on some years.
I have caught cats in 5ft of snow, but that was under bluffs where you can keep things working, my average snow depth is 1,5 to 2.5ft of snow with that I can keep cages working under trees and in brush but it is a ton of work digging them out after it snows!
A call lure is a very strong smelling scent that can be smelled by the animal from a long distance away, most have a lot of skunk essence in them.
Good to see you back Mercer, and keeping this thread alive, hope you had a good season!!!
