The amount of drugs most Americans take is staggering. I never realized it until I ran a recycling operation and saw the numbers of pill bottles that people pitch in the recycling containers as they were plastic. Unreal amounts of drugs are consumed by Americans........no wonder we have so many problems. My family takes none other than the random tylenol or excedrin. 0 prescriptions but many folks are on 6-8 presecription drugs at a time. Unreal

Good Question K S.

Aside from the overall density & location traffic, several other factors come into play as well.

Road lines can differ greatly from bait stations in terms of set numbers, attractants, placement, & strategy.

With a road scenario, three flat sets are usually enough to hedge against a walk away on most savvy hombres.
An additional set or two might be added in case of heavy traffic.

The type of attractant or look can also determine in part how many sets are deployed at the location.
For instance, an attractant with a lot of holding power might require fewer backup sets than a curiosity smell.
On the other hand, a hole set with a high chance of being defeated might require more reinforcements than a flat set.

I also think it is wise to take into consideration just how much game your local K-9"s have.
Some of the coyotes here are an Almighty Trial. For the wise guys you need a little something extra.
Additional sets, good blending, and the use of a ground tarp provide the edge that helps me reel them in.

In any situation, Flats remain my number one coyote killer by a country mile.
Its versatility is second to none.

You think?

For a challenge, try it the original, old-fashioned way. Make them fly first with a good Turkey Dog in Fall and Winter. I never hunted Merriams or Rio Grandes, hear they're dumb compared to Easterns, but wouldn't know. Believe rifles are allowed in MD, OK and VA. After October, I prefer hunting them on snow in Wisconsin. Link at the end: TURKEY DOGS

There is a distinct difference between wanton waste and protecting a greater good. I agree its a complete waste and despicable to kill just for the sake of seeing that crimson red splattered and tossing a critter aside for the vultures. However, look at what 10 coon can do to 3 acres of standing corn. Corn that is left standing all winter to provide for deer, coon, turkeys, and so on when the snow and ice is deep and sub zero temps. For my place, that 3 acres I leave every year is just about right. Mild years, there is corn left in March and other years its nearly 100% gone by March. But 10 coon can wipe out more than 30% of it by Jan 1. Worse is they pull the stalks down and then ears of corn get buried in snow/ice when other animals need it most. Additionally, if I leave that stand of corn near my building, they get infested with them and the damage they do is $$$$$. Between coon, woodchucks, and pine (red) squirrels, I don't think twice about giving them 40gr of lead or brief detaining in a trap. The greater good for more and a variety of critters out weighs the 20 to 30 I whack to protect my equipment and food sources

Ha, I didn't even think of that. I read it as $15k of NVDA. But you're right. NVDA has never been that high so he must have meant TSLA.

yep

How to spot a meth lab.....

fiber wheels in a grinder are nice

I did it with bolt cutters a few times

did it with a hack saw I have vice on my trailer once you cut half way through they break fairly easy after a couple bends at the cut.

bolt cutters haven't got anything on the grinder for speed and the grinder is a very popular entry tool for all sorts of locks

You betcha, by golly, eh dere now!
