Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes......

If you live in the East and do not use Mark Zagger's method you are working too hard. If you want to see the entire system, go to his coyote U. I am pretty careful where I spend money. That was money well spent.

I second that. There is more to the system than just the pipe. Definitely worth the time and money.

Due to very wet weather I’ve done 90% pipe dream sets so far this year. NEVER caught anything with them in the past but thought there was no way I was going to get traps in the ground if I didn’t try it again.

Due to extreme mud and more rain coming, I put in 4 pipe dream sets. We got 2 inches of rain. First catch—a yoy red fox. Mud ball but still caught. Over the next three days I had a pull out (probably coyote by size of catch circle) and two more reds.

The season is early and I expect this set will shine.

Update

Two weeks later I have the cold to end all colds. Pulled my sets when we were facing snow and I knew I was going to really be sick. In those pipe dreams, I caught reds, big boar coon, skunks, and some fantastic coyotes. More than half the sets were lured with gland lures. The others with bait. It didn’t make any difference. The pipes were chewed and all but two catches were deeply in the traps. I’ve never experienced anything like it.

I've found this little spade works great for the set. It's easy to dig a hole just the right size both for depth to bury the chain and stake and for the trap footprint. I'll be doing a lot of these sets. [Linked Image]

I haven't trapped canines very much for the last 10 years or more but had time this year since I'm semi-retired. I put out 12 sets the first day and had 2 coyotes the next day. The sets were made 50/50 pipe dream and standard dirt holes. I added 12 more sets and kept the same 50/50 ratio. I ended up with 6 coyotes in 5 checks and pulled them yesterday. 4 of the 6 came from the pipe dream sets. I used only food lure in the pipe. I had never made this set but had to try it after reading the 40 pages in the archives. I didn't have time to practice so had to learn in the field. I made a few mistakes at first but soon discovered the bedding is way more secure than I've ever had in the past and I started doing it on all my sets. Very solid. I highly recommend you all learn how to make this set. Thanks Mr. Zagger for bringing this to all trappers.


57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

Works like a charm. This set was out 10 days with most being rainy, windy and cold. Never touched it since it was made.


Wish I had more time to trap....

Set it and forget it!

That's what I always say......

I have an editor/producer ride and film with me yesterday and there now WILL be a Pipe Dream Set video for viewing showing the way I/me/MZ makes the set. If you go to YouTube there are several on there showing it, and while most give me credit for the set, all of them don't quite do it the way I do......doesn't mean it won't work their way, but most are just about the pipe and NOT about all the other thing I/me/MZ does to make it what I need, rely on, and ultimately call the Pipe Dream Set.

Oh, the video will be posted here, YouTube and my website and it will be free for the viewing public!

Have you ever used BTO in your pipes? If I shouldn’t ask this question get Hillary to put a hit on me.

Anyone use this set for foxes? How would you adjust this set back distance from the pipe for the smaller animal? Don't have many coyotes in my area yet and there have only been four killed or trapped in the past six years or so.

I know a guy that caught over 300 reds last year on pipes.......and yes, I'd say you probably would be a little closer to the pipe if no coyotes.

Screen color? I like black.....because I put such little cover on the screen.....and some of the black shows through but blends in better, I think, than silver. That said.....if that's all you have use it!
