Thanks for the pictures Taxi, please keep them coming, especially the location and set pictures. I am using blind sets more and more. This year I caught about a quarter of my coyotes in blind sets, but I missed alot, so would like to learn more about guiding.

Taximan- You mentioned slide cables in this post- How long of a cable would you use and would you bury it?

To be honest,I have yet to employ any so I hope someone with real experience will coment on this.My thinking is about 10'.You want to get that circle off the trail.They seem interested in the circle but avoid stepping in it for weeks to come,at least in this country.I' sure I would bury the first few feet and break up the outline of the rest.

I think a fence post drag on a 10' may also be practical on that spot.I just haven't got my nerve up to try these things yet.
