Did you also order the setting tool? It can be done with rope, but I've always used the setting tool.

Dave:

I heard that there was an embargo placed on selling furs to Russia by our illustrious president, that's the other reason for the drop in raccoon sales, in addition to their economy taking a hit.

China is now a big fur buyer, but they haven't embraced Raccoon like Russia does. But, their economy has taken a hit too, so it's a double whammy for the fur industry.


esshup,
Yes, I did order the setting tool along with the traps. I viewed the setting procedure several times on YouTube and figured it was a necessity. It looked like it could be done without one, but I decided to just go that route.


...when in doubt...set the hook...
