I have had 2 live lynx in snares. It does happen even when all conditions and precautions are taken! I got my first cotoneaster this year in a 120. He tries to rob the marten bait. I started using more footholds this year and it paid off! 48 hr check is ok but I wish it was a day longer. But I like any excuse to go out to the line.
Just finished my 3rd season as a jr partner. My sr only made it out a few times this year. Didn't produce huge numbers but managed 34 furs. Got 2 wolves in footholds but cannot seem to connect them with snares. Had zero luck with a bait pile and the snares I put on the trails.
It's a huge learning curve. I am a self learner but would like to take a trap line layout course
