more lynx troubles

[moose maniac]

The last few days I have had lynx come into my sets walk up to a snare literally inches away turn around and take a different path,this morning there was an inch of fresh snow,went to check a set there was fresh tracks following my trail right to my set,and again it stopped right in front of my snare then turned around walked around my set and zig zagged around 3 more snares and left,what are your guys thoughts,seeing my snares?smelling my snares?

Are you treating and /or boiling your snares.? Sounds like you are placing additional snares arounf the perimeter of your cubby which is good. Are you hanging your bait inside the cubby? What are you using for bait /lure ? Could also be that there is just too much feed for them and they are not that hungry, that is why sometimes you have to get them curious enuff to enter with a bit of catnip maybe.. Are your loops large enuff.. There is too much you are not telling, so it's kinda hard to know wheere to start..

I don't see you doing anything wrong, so I gotta put the blame on those "fat cats"..
