Hi,

I have done very little trapping but extensive hunting and fishing.

Concerning fishing, my 76 year old father always rubs a minnow in his hands (usually a dead one from the bucket) before he handles his trout trolling lure. He is also nice enough to let me gas up the boat and run the motor when we go fishing; he also out-fishes me about 2:1!

I used to use commercial scents when hunting deer and moose but have since just started watching/playing the wind more closely and have had even better success. I did recently buy a Carbon Activated Suit but have not tried in yet.
