There is a good video of a coyote being caught on the Wilderness forum.

Clint Locklear's "Teachers of the Night" Dirt Hole, shows a coyote being taken in a leg hole trap.

I have a trail cam video of a coyote being caught in a snare . From the time he was caught til down and out it is less than 3 minutes .. and he didnt even fight the cable until after the first 60 seconds .. It wont be posted but I found it quite informative .

The problem of seeing the actual catch is that learning how to make that catch is over. Locklear actually says this in his Teachers of the Night - Dirt Hole video. I have it and he’s right! Actually, I was intrigued with how much the coyotes in the video DIDN’T spend over the trap. But that’s the whole point of the TotN videos. I now set my coyote traps 90 to 180 degrees away from the hole and I catch fur much better than when I put the trap right in front of the hole

I'd like to get some good trail cams this summer and do some trapping this winter with them. I'm really interested to see what really takes place when a coyote works a set. We don't always get snow here so a lot of it is just guessing. Some of the theories about what is suppose to be happening doesn't always seem to be what is happening. Just my thoughts.

We learn more from our misses!!

Problem i have with teachers of the night is how did the camera a object that is noticed effect the coyotes behavior at the set? The video is interesting but not revolutionary as some would say
Just my 02

Lots of other videos talk about "teachers of the night" he's tought many great video

Lots of videos on the market are crap

I believe he says they used night vision equipment and were quite a ways away from the sites. This means telephoto lenses to me. If you can get coyotes in for a 50-100 yard shot with a call and rifle, I can’t see why a 50-100 yard set back with night vision equipment would be any different.

Also some areas trail cams are common parts of their habitat and they don't mind where as in other parts of the country it makes em spooky.

Watching the trail cam footage from one of the deer leases I help out at ,who run cameras year round, they just don't seem to care. Where as on my property the minute they noticed the lil red light they bout shot out their skin

Game cams sure made a dummy out of us didn't they!!!

lol I don't need a video to tell me they don't follow the rules. Snow has proven they can and do work a hole 360 degrees! climb all over backing and step on guiding. I've never been the guy that believes two traps at one attractor was the best but I don't believe it would hurt either. Ive yet to find a yote that wasn't camera shy! Also ive offset ,set directly in line. Bottom line if they like the scent you applied they are gonners! Bed trap rock solid and working the rest is time.

After studying track patterns at sets for years in snow I've come to one conclusion, you can't place the trap too close but you sure can get it too far away. We learn more from our misses than our catches!

I've learned some from looking at your pictures, Gary. You should post them every now and then...just as a reminder.

Thanks Yuk,My old PC crashed, lost most of my pics. I'll take more this fall/winter. Should be some on here somwhere.
