In Michigan a tad over 80 years ago, my Dad ran trap lines for muskrat, mink, raccoon, and fox. I’d tag along to be with my Dad. His trap lines were along streams, a mucky lake, and a couple of high, sand eskers. He wore either hip boots for mucky muddy terrain, or knee high leather lace-up boots for dryer terrain. He took good care of those leather boots. Kept them oiled and ready. I don’t recall my footwear. But I do remember that I would have rather worn cloth tennis shoes than have to wear 3 buckle rubber boots. I hated those stupid, heavy, clumsy things! Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
Try dragging the beaver behind your utility cart. We do that here in Maine and it helps us get an idea of interest in the old logging cuts. Cheers from Maine.
It would be interesting as all git out if a lynx was to be attracted by vanilla! A vanilla bean is the seed pod of one type of orchid. Not many growing in Canada for a lynx to get acquainted with. A new curiosity might get his attention? Let us know? You caught an ermine. Common weasels stay brown; ermines turn white in the winter. Courtesy of Half Vast Fly
I drug a dead calf 2 miles across a snowy field back in the day. Lots of 'yotes were hot on the trail, but all I caught was a weasel. But something tells me your well-constructed sets are going to bring home the bacon. Good luck!
I'm having issues commenting on videos so am using the reply section to post. Nice set there brother, always interesting to see if successful. Thanks for the video as always. Stay safe, God bless.

Be careful if you end up putting a stand in a Poplar…..they can look perfect on the outside when totally rotten on the inside. I almost made this mistake a few years ago!
Warm? It was 75 degrees Fahrenheit (23.8C) in my part of Texas. We almost tied the record for the highest temp. Keep working the trap line though, fresh natural meat is a God-send.
We had hardly any here in New York at that time as well. Some up in the Adirondack Mnts. maybe. The whole state is infested with them now. We see them every deer season and they are prime targets.
Don't know about Canadian laws, but here in the US we can not use any migratory bird feathers as an attractant. Canada, the US, and Mexico entered into a treaty over twenty years ago that declared crows and magpies as migratory, thus banning the use of their feathers as attractants for the purpose in trapping or much anything else. Migratory waterfowl feathers are definitely not allowed. Feral pigeon wings are allowed for flagging cat sets and are readily available.
Thanks for the your videos love them U K

Had a coyote run through my back yard today.
Nice video man! What do you carry for bear protection?
You know what is interesting. They were no coyotes here in Tennessee or N.C. back in the 70s. Now those things are everywhere
We had hardly any here in New York at that time as well. Some up in the Adirondack Mnts. maybe. The whole state is infested with them now. We see them every deer season and they are prime targets.
@B25gunship yes sir
Good looking sets.good luck

Not sure of your location, But if you have Wolves in your Area, They will cut that Scent trail and you'll be finding half Eaten Cats and Coyotes..
Inhuman
I have a Staffordshire bull terrier he doesn’t like walking like your beaver too… 😂
How many townships is your trap line guy
