When making a Fisher/Marten pole set with a Conibear placed above 48" off the ground, where do you put the Skunk call lure and where do you put the secondary lure such as Night Owls "Brushfire" or Cavens "Gusto"?

Ask 10 trappers and get 10 different answers on that one. Heres what I do. I put the skunk away from the set on a tree about the same height as the set. This way I don't get any skunk on me when messing with the set. I don't use a skunky odor at set. I use a mix I make with castor as the main ingredient at the set. I usually put this right on the bait. I primarily use beaver meat and fleshing scraps mixed together as bait. Some use fish oil on the pole and squirt it around too. I don't, but I have seen it work.

Sorry, but I disagree. You want your skunk lure above the bait so that it will reach out long distance and most important that you don't get into it when checking/adjusting the trap. I place the other lure on a twig on the ground near base of pole, usually on underside of pole where I will not accidentally step into it.

I often use the underside of the pole for additional lure.. Keeps it out of the weather and you and the animal stay out of it.

Everyone does it differently, the way I use lure at leaning poles is I put some crossbones on a nearby tree, and some fish oil at the base of the pole and around the set.

Dear Friends, Lure at the bait, call type or skunk as high as you can reach up the pole, Trailing scent from the ground up to the bait. Regards
