Get out and get private property permission. If hunting dogs are in there regular you WILL have trouble. Its nothing for a coyote to travel 10 miles in a night. Catch them outside of the public and call them inside

Here in ks bird season closes the last day of January. So i use the last two weeks of trapping season on public land. We can trap till February 15. Cats are still good. I release rubbed coyotes and pelt any that are still good. Have not had any problems doing this

Catch them outside of the public and call them inside I have permission to trap private and own a lot of private. That's mostly all that I trap. It is just too close to my house and too much sign to not give it a try. I already pretty much know what I am getting into and the ways to minimize things. I just wanted to hear from other people's experiences with public land.Thanks for the replies.

I trap a lot of public ground. I prebait and set for a week and then I come back in a couple weeks and reset it again. I don’t set where I think I’m gonna catch a hound or where people are walking

Thanks! Now Im getting good responses and ideas. I like the pre baiting idea maybe with some beaver carcasses. Read the regulations first. 95% chance you can't set foothold trapps on land on public land in Okla. I've read the regulations for WMA and we can trap on public land you just have to post the entrance and not set on roads or trails that could be walked on by people. That road and trail thing is pretty vague. Ive trapped corp of engineer land quite a lot and it is pretty easy to find spots that are not frequented by people but I have had traps stolen and game stolen from those areas. Not a rookie just trying to get some good conversations and see what others are doing to get new ideas. Keep them coming

Depending on the pressure you have there public might be more work then it's worth!

Keep them coming There is a WMA across the fence from me I've read the regulations for it and looked at others, that's what I'm going by. I don't know what the exact regulations for the WMA your planning to trap but I wish you the best of luck in your traping.
