Depending where you are and the bird situation ,once a week is definitely too long..I quit last season 2 weeks early because the eagles were getting my coyotes and that was with every other day checks ..got 4 of my last 8 ... and I was using carcasses to feed birds 2 miles away, it worked in warmer weather but when it got cold and the carcasses froze ,the eagles went back to eating the warm freshly caught dogs ..green belly is an issue if the weather is too warm but it's not gonna happen these days . One other thing is chew outs ,a poorly caught dog that isn't dead won't likely be there in a week's time .

I set 2 sites yesterday and was met at my first by an eagle that was big enough to wear a saddle ...my check in 2 days will determine if I keep going ..if ant dogs are destroyed I will pull my stuff and hang it up .Which is too bad , there are a remarkable number of coyotes
