a mink or fox can easily detect the human nose can detect copper and even the rusty trap has a foreign scent to tho human nose there is reason to be lieve that the keen nose of an animal which is by nature cunning and shy is far more effective in locating such odors just what effect a clean steel trap has upon the shy furbearcrs i am not prepared to say but most trappers know from experience that the best sets made on land do not result in the percentage of usual catches as in the case with their water sots it seems as if water washes away the contact of the human hand with the trap and covers the scent of steel and iron the necessity of deodorizing sets is soon impressed upon trappers once they have been pitted against the more wary animals experience shows you the importance of clean traps but from the trappers viewpoint it is best to avoid that sad experience as much as possible traps intended for trailsetting upon land should he buried in the soft mud o a swamp brook for at least several days then removed and per mitted to air a day or you can boil them with the hulls of walnuts and then place them for several days in the clean rapids of a stream the re sult obtained by the use of either method is a oeansed trap free from the odois of rust steel and iron os1ng the bait many trappers use bait as a scent to minimize the odors about the- trap in the real trappers hand this is ex cellent but unless a trapper is fa miliar with the use of bait it will more often prove a warning to the wary ones the amateur trapper who does not yet appreciate the full importance of killing the scent will instead of using the bait in tho most approved manner put it out in a very crude way thus making it a hindrance rath er than a help when a trapper can used water to the best advantage that is the best and most certain means of killing the scet available on the trapline any set intelligently made in water is free from the odors foreign to the place kefijre tho trap was
