thanks for the ideas guys. those seem to be viable options. i see a lot of issues created by not running wireless. something like this would be great, but the range (non-destructed line of sight) is only about 250-300. if I could find something like this with more range, that would solve it.

We use surveyor tape on the door and the frame plus a pair of binos.
2 separate pieces of tape, door open
1 wad of tape door closed.
Works from 400 plus yards for us
"Keep it simple stupid" has served me well
Nvm, I missed the dense woods part.

if you need power at the trap just get a lawnmower battery and a small solar charger

I can certainly see the issue running wires overhead. Have you thought about running the wires in ground using the spool and bury tool that they run pet containment systems with? Wires being underground should eliminate issues.
The other thing to try is a wireless game can that texts pictures. External antennas can be bought that will give enough signal, even in areas with limited service. @$300 for a good quality camera, and $10 a month to add a line. Not only will he know when the trap is set, he can know exactly what, and how many critters are in it.
