Hey ST, how many coyotes have you caught this year?

I’ve done it quite a bit. Very effective but swiveling is key. I use it only on small traps. 550’s and #2s. This is the chain rig I use and it works well if the yote is in one trap or two. Always has a swivel. All welded when done or course.

Tejas. I am on my last 10 day coyote contracting job. I have caught 285 coyotes so far. I am hoping to go back to Texas or maybe New Mexico next. I have use 3 different urines and the same 3 great lures from James Lucero They are = JL # 1 , Coyotero, and Winter Wolf Lure. The 3 urines are = Ogorman's = Boss Dog , Jameson's Coyote Urine, and Govtrapper's SMC urine If I get to New Mexico to work. I may get to 400 coyotes total. Fingers crossed

Here in indiana, our winds are shifting all the time. So I was introduced to using two traps at a set from a buddy. He’s says put the first trap where you normally would downwind from the hole, and then out the second on the backside of the hole. That way if the wind shifts, you have somthing guarding the other side. And not to mention, how often a coyote will investigate a set from all angles before committing. And it helped with my catch

Chinese finger traps. 2 in 1. LOL.

With all the chatter about magnetic fields and such. Wouldn't 2 traps per set double magnetic field? And than make catch rate fall

Coyotes can't count past one
Nice rigging Yoteguts.Question tho, do you guys run longer chains on one trap to keep the tangling under control?

Slacker LMBO,, nice work

Thanks Trappergbus. It's raining now here. I coil my chain away from drag point Then pack some dirt over it then coil it some more. Laying Has keepers all my chains from tangling So far

Sometime I chain them separate Set a JL Dirthole yesterday. With Winter Wolf Lure , SMC urine, and muskrat meat. Had 2 traps 2 drags. This is a first night catch. Other Dirthole I Set seam to take long to get action than the JL Dirthole style. BUT I am hooked on 2 traps per set. Because if another coyote had been with this big OLD male maybe I would have caught him too? Going to make Coyote Water with this Old Boy ! LoL

steeltraps,
enjoy your posts. Thanks for sharing. Love Lucerp's methods. Used to have great luck on his bait and lure.

Looking at the traps pictured I could not tell how you treated the, Mind sharing?
Good stuff.

Formula 1 is what all my traps are treated will since 2010. I used logwood dye for 0ver 20 years. Then I tried Formula 1 And have lived it every since!

steeltrap--- since you mentioned it in this thread, would you share process of pulling anchors with the taco ?

Yes. When I do stake down traps I pull them with 2012 Toyota Tacoma. I have a long chain. And a ground down hook That I use My Fox Hollow stakes are welded to # 7 chain then attached to 5/16 quick link. Josh here on TMan makes them Furshed Fabricating. He makes all the stuff I use. It's tough stuff

ST your living the dream. Keep at it and take pics. Always enjoy your posts. Keep killin!

St I've never used 2 traps for coyote like your doing. I may need to try it now for cats it's all I do. Well most time hahaah. Looking good.

I occasionally use two traps. I use two at flat sets some times. The traps are lever to lever, and the attractors are at each end and the center. Gland, turd, urine, or any combo of the three. If I use a turd I like it in the center position. This also works well with poke holes. Mix and match flats and holes in the same set, many combinations.

I also have a three trap set I came up with after trying unsuccessfully to catch an adult female that I had chased for several weeks. I later found out some one else had been trapping. She would not approach a set that had backing or a hole. She only approached a couple of my sets and I never seemed to have trap placement correct for our random winds. I came up with this trap and attractor layout to take these things in to account. Wayne Derrick suggested I make the set and let it set for a few days before adding an attractor, so I did. He also suggested using some thing that she hadn’t seen from me before. I hacked a t bone from a rotten cow carcass and drove it in the predetermined spot that I had marked with a small white rock.

thanks

only set 2 per set if I have a digger, then set the second 1 back bout a foot from the 1 its digging up

ALWAYS 2-3 traps per location, a great way to get most of a family when they move thru.

Well, I just rigged up a bunch of 2 trap set ups. I run a lot of 450s in coyote country and usually have some that sit in the truck, so now I've got some extra kill area to spread out in front of em.
