yote poop, yote sets. cat poop, cat sets. fox poop, fox sets. mink poop, mink sets ect.... ect....
a simple equation to the task at hand, capture the target animal or animals by reading the sign they leave behind. droppings can indicate preditor and prey species, travel corridors, population densities, food sorces, territorial boundries, the art of trapping and capturing a target animal isn't all about making the perfect set. studying animal habits and their habitat are important keys to being successful. a successful trapper is one who looks at the big picture and droppings are a big part of the paint used to create that picture
just my opinion which ain't much

Good eye but in late August on a coyote job, which grove are you visiting? That alone may determine your success at locating trails in and out of there. ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) ![](http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii32/LTGREY/101_0146.jpg) I can always tell how fresh a dropping is by the insect activity. But does a butterfly lick dung anyway? Salt?

And most important of all: WATCH WHERE YOU'RE WALKING!!!
Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon.
Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor.
Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!
