I was doing that 50 years ago. I had best luck setting the traps in the riffles. Never got anything but coon in them though. Guess I`m luckier than you, I never got a skunk in that set.

My dad used that set years ago as well. I think I'll try it this year and see what happens. I think it's easy for us to get caught up in new tricks and tips but forget about those old stand by's that still produce. We're still a couple of months away from season but I'll keep ya posted on what happens.

I think a pair of one and a half coils set side by side as a blind set will catch as many as with the aluminum foil, and you don't need to worry about the foot if they are on drags with good swivels in the chain. I have had a double on mink with this set.
