Really good info, thanks, my big hang up is pachents, don't like to wait the 10 to 14 days before I pull

They walk on twigs and branches and rocks all day long that move under their feet. I also wonder why a tiny bit of movement alerts them.

In my 50 plus years of trapping I have ALWAYS WONDERED what it is that makes an animal "uncomfortable" with the "movement" of the trap?
In other words, is this an inherited trait of any animal to be suspicious of a "loose" trap?
What is that animal thinking when it feels that so very slight movement?
Is it a "curiousity" thing? A "warning" type of thing"?
I ask only because, unless an animal was lucky to escape an improperly bedded trap, what reason would they have to fear a "loose" trap?
Am I making myself clear as mud?
I cannot believe it is a thing where a "parent canine" passes this on to it's offspring.
