Are some lures better suited for a dirt hole type set as opposed to a flat set? How would you determine what type of set? Flat set, dirt hole , post set, Grab stick set, food lure, call lure, gland lure? or any combination of different lures? Thanks Ed

Good question Ed. I like Russ Carmens "vent scent".......... his instructions say not to put it down the hole.... I always do put it down the hole. It works for me. I talked to Russ about it and he laughed.

Again it all comes down to what works for you---do you need a differant lure for the sets described---will a couple fill the bill----I think you will get a lot of different answers to this question---and it will come down to what works for you. OR we will see a lot of walking lure bottles this fall----guys carrying 15 or 20 bottles.

I think that for most purposes one good food lure and as good a gland lure as you can get for later in the season will cover it pretty well.I firmly believe that a lot of guys try to make k9 trapping a lot harder than it is. Keep it simple and natural.k9s aren't shopping they are either hungry or horney.Food is usually associated with dirthole type sets scentpost type sets or what I call curiosity sets are where gland lures and urine really come into play altho some trappers use urine at all dirthole sets also.

Thanks Ed Yes,some lures can be set specific.Any lure that they actually want to roll in,usually skunky lures fall into this category but some other lures may cause it that don't contain skunk,one other could be a lure with a strong fish oil as a base.They will usually dig these types of lures out of holes,take the lure holder off and roll on it,sometimes they might carry it off but sometimes you'll find it close by.If a lure is advertised as causing digging and rolling you wouldn't put that smell on the ground at a flat set or on the lip of a hole.If their initial response is rolling or rubbing you will get a lot of snapped traps with a few long hairs in it,chances are it was rolling on your set.If you make shallow dirtholes that they can easily get a lure holder out of they will pull it out,drop it and roll.A lure that gets that type of response you want to make them work for it because if it is easy to get or on the ground you will miss a lot of them and have a lot of snapped empty traps.Proper lure usage is important,know what reactions the lures get and use them at proper sets.If they want to eat it vs.roll in it then you can do different things,if they want to urinate on it then use it appropriately.It isn't rocket science but there is a little common sense involved.Pay attention to how a lure is advertised and the reactions they claim to the lure then use them accordingly...
