Congrats!
You got the hard part figured out.
You got past the canine nose, and got him to work your set.
(even if he did basically work you while he was at it)
It took me almost a full season with 12 sets out to get a dog to even come near my steel.

Once you can miss them you're just a few tiny little tweaks of technique away from getting them to connect.

It took me almost a full season with 12 sets out to get a dog to even come near my steel. At first all they would do is stop at about 10-12 feet away and leave me a present-in-a-pile. Or circle circle circle ... pass.

Thanks Bald. The hunter helped confirm the area but I knew from hearing them in the winter that they liked to hang out there. Hopefully I can get him when the corn or beans get picked (intersection of two fields).
