I'm Not a trapper myself but I have done some rabbit snaring and I got to wondering what Kind of an average trappers get in a season. For me we seem to need to Set out 10 snares for every 1 bunny caught. Obviously this will change year to year and depend on your location but just as an approximate average how many traps do you Set out and how many critters do you bag in a season?
I usually set about 20 snares and in a good year get about a 50% snare to coyote\fox ratio or better, This year has been horrible for me and the only reason I can think of is the lack of snow. I put my snares up and only got 3 mangy coyotes!
For marten I usually put up around 30 traps and end up with around 20 marten, keep in mind these traps are put in cubbies that suspended 3-4 feet off the ground to avoid females.
