Give it time. Sometimes a set needs to “cool off” for a week or two before a coyote will work it. Be patient. No need to rebait or lure after only a week unless it rained a lot, if anything just a little squirt of urine.

Set a trap right where they are walking. I have set traps 10 yards apart and only caught them in one single trap site...over and over. The one 10 yards away from where they are walking never got touched.

I agree with letting them sit and cool off if you will but also a firm believer that 5 yards(15 feet) might as well be a mile. I set as close to sign as I can. I have made sets what I thought was close enough and checked empty traps for a long time. In my opinion there is no such thing as to close.
Wish I had more time to trap....

In a good location I will make a set on either side of the trail to take advantage of changing wind direction. Unless it has rained there is no need to relure/bait. I just caught a Bobcat in a set that had sat for 10 days. He obviously smelled it

First thing imo is the following why is the coyotes ( perferable) going to be where HE IS OR GOING TO TRAVEL. Once you get that kind of figured. Then move on to type of set and few other things guys tend to focus on . But the first item is what to focus on. If he goes by keeps on traveling imo as sniper say one track mind is one reason or our way of looking at it . It's a good chance with in 7 days he has seen that set. Personally once I lure or bait a set it never gets anything else beside me driving by at a distance until it catches then and only then do I relure with some tbing else.

Which way are the prevailing winds? Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Alright, so I re-baited/lured almost all my sets sunday after 5-7 days because its been getting really cold. Using some louder lures and I have had a few coyotes walking right past my sets within 5-10 yards and not breaking stride. Just keep on keeping on or change things? Too much lure, usually one time is all you need In wy my dog sniffed lure at set locations I used the year before

Being on location is of utmost importance But if it’s in a wide open place where you are exactly sure where they may be running. I throw out a cow skull hip socket or big leg bone that has bleached white a little down wind of the set as they will see it and circle down wind of the bone they are seeing and will them smell your lure
If the wind changes direction for a few days I move the bone to where it’s back downwind of the set
Another thing is you could be using too much lure and can satisfy his curiousity from further away
And another thing is I will not get in this debate but you could try some different lures because they are not are created equal And I have heard they attracted to all lures and that could very well be true but if it doesn’t hold his attraction long enough to get caught or if you don’t catch him as soon as he walks up it doesnt do you much good

That there is pretty sound advice. Mac
