Other than trench, flat, and dirt hole, what kind of sets do you guys make for coyote? I want to try something new this season for the fun of it


Trapping is easy you say? You try getting your target animal to step in a 3 inch area of its whole territory.

we set good locations with 2-3 sets. one is always a post set and post sets account for almost half of our catches easily. Dirthole sets (and we use a lot of double dirtholes), and flat sets. For change-ups we do use trench sets and some unique variation of a flat set like a big plug of sod (sometimes we stack two up to get the visibility factor) or a rock, maybe a pop can, and a wad of grass wired to end of a stick with lure on the grasswad is good too.
In late winter when ground is rock solid and we are making sets in corn stubble along weedy draws and ponds...a simple bent over stalk with lure in end of the stalk and trap bedded below the lured end has taken a lot of coyotes for us. trash pile sets work very well in late winter, too. eye appeal, and place to hide bait and lure under the edge of the pile. I like those in bean fields where there are typically a few of such piles already in the field from combine chaffe piles. good place for mice to hide and feed in late winter, coyotes check them out readily.
we also snare a lot of trails, frozen creek beds, and ditch crossings in late winter. snares are very good late season sets.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Walk through sets. Find or make a spot where they will walk through. Then with a trap stake just punch In a hole On each side of that walk through. They can be exactly opposite of one another. Use 2 different smells this will get that coyote to slow down to check out these odors. This works good on those trails. You want that critter to slow down and move It's feet around a bit instead of just lumbering down the trail. Keep It as natural looking as you can.

2-trap blind trail set with stick between traps. Bed and cover traps as in Zagger's Pipe Dream Set. Weather resistant. Worked well for me this past season - reused trap beds by putting traps on drags. I just threw drags aside and sparsely covered a foot or two of chain with grass.

Compass set, basically a flat set with 4 lures, one in each corner trap in the middle.

It gets them moving their feet a lot to check out each lure. The more they move their feet the better.

Also, in light snow a good hay set with two traps works wonders.

Trench set with a dirt hole on each end. Trap is bedded in trench about 9 in from each trap. Different smell in each hole.

There's only 3 set types. Blind trail, and sets with holes and sets without holes but, the variations are endless.


Common sense catches alot of fur..

Agreed just someone's name for one of the three. I'm pretty bland. Same ol stuff over and over again. I guess if the OP really is bored he could try to catch some coyotes with exposed sets, that would keep him busy.

post sets work well here. They are pretty much a flat set but the scent it on something. Staked hide set is good.
