"In the winter when there is a frequent fall of snow, with occasional thawing and freezing, I have experienced some dif- ficulty in covering traps so as to retain them in good working order. Quite often a thick, stiff crust has formed over the set and naturally small animals will not spring the trap,, and if sprung the jaws will not hold them due to obstruction.
