I would check early like stated above. Not sure on the slide for a coyote. I’ve never had to consider it. I’ll have to think about that one and get back with you. Good luck

I love to trap edges of weedy ditches before freeze up. If early I use sliders to slide the catch off the open ground above and down over the bank into the ditch to hide them. Put em in the water if necessary too. Coyotes, fox, coon, they all slide well just anchor for the coyote and that covers the other creatures just fine. Later when this is freeze up solid around here coyote and foz often travel right on the ice down in the ditch itself, and then just find the narrow spots and start snaring them. Anchor them down low in the ditch and they stay down out of sight after caught. PM me if questions too, happy to share what I am doing for this type of terrain which is common around here late season after harvest. Jim

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

Is it possible to check your sets right at first light or just before? Some days yes but it’s pretty hard with work schedules.

I use #2 chain on my sliders. Works very well. No kinks no frays, no breakage. Rerod works well too.

Out here it’s almost impossible to hid sets from the road unless you wanna walk a quarter mile. I’ve never had one stolen, and only one ever shot, and I still got that one cause I showed up right after they shot it. I was still mad about the softball sized hole in its chest though.

Why not try setting your sets and using long chains and heavy drags. The coyotes or fox will bring them to where they feel safe. Maybe just out of site of anybody. The slides I would think would need to be made out of some pretty heavy cable to with stand the torture a coyote would put it through. Maybe adding more than one swivel to the chains attached to the slide might help. Just a thought. How far can a coyote pull a drag? I know of guys that use em in heavy wooded country but what about in open ag land? Do they leave a decent trail?

Depends on the drag used and the terrain. In a cut wheat field a coyote could go a long way. He’d hang up in the first cover he got to. If the ground isn’t real hard they leave a trail that isn’t too difficult to follow
