[QUOTE="TN Song Dog, post: 5779390, member: 16694"] Lots of good info and advice here already. That MB 550 OS predator kit looks picy, but it really isn't. Saves you from having to buy all the s-hooks, j-hooks, swivels, chain stakes, etc all individually and then assemble everything. In addition to the kit I would get about 5-10lb of white trap wax blocks. Buy a cheap canning pot from Walmart for your wax and prefer using pure wax on traps after fully decreased. Don't really have to dye them the first season but would fully degrease and then wax them. Watch youtube for tutorials on cleaning and waxing etc. The kit has some bait and lure, and you can also use other stuff like bacon grease. Meat trimmings also work. Trap out away from the houses. Find areas where multiple features intersect like a farm road crossing a creek along a fence row or woods line. Different features intersecting. Agree the catch pole isn't as useful as it may sound. I made one and never used it. Was terribly inconvenient to carry and always found other ways to deal with whatever situation arises. Youtube will also help you learn how to make the sets. Dirt hole or step down dirt hole sets are a good place to start. The hay set smoke mentions is a good one to learn.
