[QUOTE="KDM, post: 485172, member: 314"] It would be as easy as it can get to catch one of these. They come out of the river at the same easily accessible point, run the same trail through the snow to the pond, along a trail in the cattails and down an opening in the cattails. A 220/330 conibear trap at each water opening under the water or across the cattail trail would have a better than average chance to nab one. My concern would be catching more than one if you have 3 traps out. The trail may vary a few yards year to year, but once they establish that trail, I've never seen them make another one or even deviate from the path. The snow turns to smooth ice by the river and the pond from the water coming off their fur and boy can they really scoot down that packed snow trail. [/QUOTE]
