Gloves

[ozarkmountainman]

I keep plenty of fresh, clean gloves with me on the trapline, and they consist of two types-

I wear the "bead palm" style for actual trap setting. These gloves let you "feel" the trap and what you're doing. A trick here is to buy them small- I wear mediums. The snug fit is a little uncomfortable but is a great aid in trap setting.

I use plain old Jersey gloves for handling my bait and dirty stuff. It is inherent that you keep these gloves seperate!

good tip dale, dont want to get a bait or lure glove on your hands while bedding a trap, unless you WANTED your trap dug up! lol

Leather for seting, nitrile rubber disposables under the leather for baiting. Put on the nitrile, put the leather on overtop of the nitrile. Make set, pull off leather and lure. replace leather and go. Keeps lure/bait off of your hands(skin).

i have two sets of rubber gloves one for bait and one for traps

maybe that's why my trap got dug up twice!

Alot of debate on this subject I think when I reset my traps 3 days ago I could have wore cologne if I wanted to because it rained and snowed and then rained and then snowed and then rained again. With weather like that scent is pretty much under control if you don't get stupid.

Yep- with all that weather a 'yote could only tell what brand of cologne it was for two or three days...
