Do Ebikes work for Trapping?

Trapper Dan's ATV breaks down and he has to break out the Ebike to check traps. Setting buckets sets for bobcats, connected on a big male coyote and the first water catch of the season.

Thanks for posting bucket set. It's about to start raining here in Texas, so it's going to be after it moves out before I can get out there. Thanks again.

[@TrappersSNORR]

Good luck! And keep us posted if it works out down there 👍

Glad the cheddar cheese set worked! Hope your bucket sets work for you my friend! Thank you for sharing my friend!

[@TrappersSNORR]

Thanks Mark. I hope you get some bobcats too. I saw those coons waking up, at least they are big. Tight chains!

[@timothydembeck2980]

Very nice Dan some good stuff enjoying it

[@TrappersSNORR]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll try to keep it coming. Snow storms might slow me down LOL

[@hillbillytrapperwestvirgin2722]

That’s thinking out of the box. Great idea on the bunny. Good luck!

[@TrappersSNORR]

Thanks Hill Billy! 7 days might not be enough to see if it works, but let’s wait and see 😊

Nice video keep them coming

[@TrappersSNORR]

Thanks for the feedback Clay, I’ll try 😊

Nice, mad trapper does buckets. Doesn't spike down. He puts handle down , just lays stick along bothe sides one gets lure on it. Hangs over front. Throws leaves inside bucket urine on leaves along side bucket. And trap in front. He catches lots of cats. Might watch his video

[@TrappersSNORR]

Thanks Ken, Yes I have seen mad trapper and his bucket sets. It was part of my inspiration to try them. So far walk-through sets are the most productive for me, but I love the speed of the buckets. We'll see how they do this week.

A stinks ya missed the opportunity on that cat but it's a huge positive for your trap location.

[@TrappersSNORR]

Yeah, that cat might be bucket shy now, but we have another week to try.

[@johnniecarter3013]

Would it make sense to drill some maybe 1" holes in the back and sides of the bucket to help with scent range? Or do you think they would spend too much time investigating the smaller holes?

[@TrappersSNORR]

We do have venting on weasel and fisher boxes. I’m not thinking I’d want the bucket like that. I’m hoping the visuals and scents drive them to the trap, so I’d rather not have them smelling the back of the bucket.

[@johnniecarter3013]

I guess I should wait to comment at the end but i normally don't. I think I'd try getting a piece of 1/2" conduit or the diameter that will fit over your stakes and use that for the camera You're most likely gonna have to drive the conduit in just a little to stop it from rotating. Then hang some flash on the top of it. I have never done this just a thought I had from seeing deer scrapes camera'd on field edges. Good Dan. try to stay warm good grief Idk how y'all handle those kinda temps.

[@TrappersSNORR]

That’s a cool idea. I like it! I did strap a camera inside the bucket on the miss location. Let’s see if anything else comes by
