All of my apple trees are LOADED this year. I have never seen them produce like this. I suspect many will be damaged because they have more apples on them than the branches will support. Bumper crops of chokecherries, blueberries and blackberries too.

That was parody D.A......You should have stayed in school, Lol.

I suggest staying with same brand of trap. By that, you are familiar with that style, know how they work, know how to tune up and muscle memory in setting. #2 will do for Fox/Coyote catches.
Laminating jaw may help with your problem. Check jaw edges on your six traps, they may have sharp edges that need soften.
*You didn't mention how long is your trap chain or how many swivels in trap chain or how you are anchoring.

I set a lot of deep but narrow tiny creeks and waterways in late winter. Most of them had pocket sets in early fall then pulled when coon quit hitting them. But in late winter coyotes, cat, and fox continue to work the old pocket sets. Still some fish and lure odors coming from those old pocket holes. It’s been good enough I’ve kept setting them all these years and it’s been worth my effort. Straight up sheer banks.
Those little deep ditches, creeks, waterways become natural travel routes down and out of site around here.
And yes I sometimes use pretty big big backings up on flat ground sets too. A big mound of bean chaff in a bean field is a great visual attractor. The bigger the mound the better. In late winter ground is impossible to dig dirtholes so putting bait under one side of the chaff pile and hacking out a bed in front of it is a key set I use. The mound can be about a couple feet high if I can kick enough into a pile like that.
Old logs make great bait and or post sets.
So does the edge of a brush pile, somewhere they would naturally hunt for mice and rabbits anyway.
I wish I could speak coyote and they always seem to teach me something new every year.
Thank you for posting those pics. Very helpful.

Welp went jar d up the apple wine I've had going last few days . Got to try out that fact lil filter system deal I was given . Ended up being more tart then I'd hoped . Back sweetened it before I added the Camden tab and now it tastes like mangos which is ....neat . And if I did the rest right it's pretty low proof like below table wine lol. But hay this stuff is pretty fun

At most restaurants we are at the wait staff has them removed before we are done with our coffee, but we do stack up things as much as we can. When I go to the coffee shop there is a place to return all of our dishware and I do.

Looking for drags pretty much any they offer. Let me know thanks

I don't target bass. I like to fish for what I prefer to eat. If I catch one though, I'll eat it if it's legal size. With breading and being deep fried, really can't tell the difference.
