I trap yotes here in Ga. started this year and have only had experience trapping them in the summer. Would the pros on here give me some suggestions about what I need to change to trap successfully in colder weather.......thanks in advance!
 
To keep your traps working in freezing conditions, you'll need to use some sort of anti-freeze in your bedding soil. Layering in simple table salt as you sift in your dirt will work. Be sure to dig your trap bed deep enough to sift dirt and antifreeze under the trap as well. Dried cow chips grated through your sifter has worked pretty well also. Just don't forget no matter how freeze proof the soil is over your trap, it's still not going to work correctly (or at all) if the bottom of your trap freezes to the ground.
 

thank y'all now.....I like the peat moss, have used it before and sifted a layer of dirt on top of it. it seems to let the rain pass through and not sit and rust the traps as much...

if your traps are prepared correctly (ie waxed), there shouldn't be any issue w/ them rusting.
