k gang,,,,we always see those sets on field edges, farm lanes,,,etc................but seldom do we see sets made in fields where its been plowed...............but we cert know yotes run em...............how do you attract/make sets in plowed fields?? would love to see where this discussion goes.

I've caught coyotes In the dead furrow.

What kind of plow was used? Moldboard or chisel?

Scent post same as anywhere. Take a leak on the backing.

Take a rake and level off an area big enough to make a set, pack it down with your feet. may have to haul some dirt to get the area level and higher than the surrounding area. Use your set of choice.

I got to trap fields for a few years when I was doing the government work. As a desert trapper was new to me.

I caught them in the rows where they were already making tracks, where they entered the field from their trails or road. Also the un cultivated intersections between the fields or anywhere an obstruction like standpipe caused veg to grow up.

When all else failed - white bird feathers would pull them from a great distance.

Somewhere in AZ is a plow with two Bridgers hanging off the disc.
Thought they were done and then they turned the field again.

Had that happen myself, Mercer....more than once!

A good way to get their attention is to take a white five gallon bucket, dig a hole, put a goodly amout of bait or a dead skunk in the hole, cover with the bucket upside down. Do this in the normal locations that you would normally set, but put the bucket about ten to fifteen feet farther out in the field. Mound dirt up around the bucket, and stomp tight. You don't want anything getting to the bait. Thebucket is a contrast to the field of black dirt. Now make your sets, two to four in the area, from fifteen to thirty feet away. Works best using an old bucket with a crack in the bottom! The attraction is unusual but not unatural! It works! enjoy! Edit, don't cover the bucket clear up, you want the white to show as the contrast!

You can also use a black or blue bucket in the snow....works the same!

Big white cow skull. maybe with a tbone in front of it so it makes a sort of walk through. I would rather track em and see where they are coming and going and find a choke point or at least a condensed area of tracks and just set a dirthole amongst it.

Like possum said, I look for tracks, scat. Let them tell me where to set. I think I've shyed more yotes away from sets trying to make them to flashy. I now set to where the predominant wind will carry the scents, they'll find it.

Was it answered are the fields plowed or chiseled?

No, I did not get an answer yet. But it is OK.

If u ever have to walk out very far to a catch after rain in a plowed field you will change your mind pretty fast about such foolishness

Amen to that.

how do you attract coyotes in plowed feilds??

200lbs of bait should work

my apologies for not responding faster........I was at work and don't have a way of posting..........

I guess for both. I personally use pvc pipe or bring in a pile of straw and set it on fire....................but was wondering what ideas you fellas have used

I rember this in my younger years. It brought back memories, caught some red fox in dirt hole I believe in plow field, also rember early coyote in plow field in elimanater trap

A car killed deer carcass back corner of field. Toss a couple traps with stakes near it then wait until the coyotes show you the steps to set those traps under. Won't take but a couple days. Open the carcass if needed.

I stay on edge .
