Clear and COLD. -22F @7am. High of ~10F all day.
TR and I both set baits. Nothing out of the ordinary at NoC. At 3mile, we set up the launcher and ran the cord out towrd the raod. I had trouble getting the firing pin to hit right. Thought it may have been a little frozen, or just a little different with the new trap?
Waited til after 8 for it to "warm" up a bit. No eagles down by 11an and TR took off the rest of the day. Had one HY and one basic III near the bait at that time. I sat on it til about 12:30 and another ad baea came in, but coyotes on the bait most of the morn. Went home for lunch til 1:15.
Came back out and a hy goea feeding. Did notfire. Waited til DC came out so he could watch the bait while I tried to mannually fire, but the goea flushed due to tourists before that could happen. The rest of the afternoon was fooled by tourists stopping to see the ad baea by the road. total of 7-8 baea (all after 5 yr except for hy and basic III - hy took off during lunch).
I covered both baits, added dryer sheets and 2 more 1/4s to 3 mile.
