Where time constraints are a factor two traps per set makes a lot of sense if your goal is to maximize catches in the shortest amount of time possible.

The question is are you better off doubling down at each set or making more single trap sets.

It’s all about what puts the odds in your favor given your specific situation.

Doubling down at a set certainly fits the bill for ST if the coyote likes that particular presentation and smell.

On the other hand, having more single trap sets also ups your odds in that you’re presenting the coyote with more choices.

More sets with different looks and smells create more opportunities for mistakes & catches.

I’ve been playing with two traps per set this summer. I like it but haven’t come up with a system that keeps the two traps from fouling on each other. In ADC trapping where trying to catch them all I think it’s a good deal to use all the advantages you can.

Good Stuff!

I like that you're guarding the twelve o’clock for the sneaker coyotes.

When sets are a little more open I see a good amount of traffic at the two o’clock hour.

ST, have you had any chains inadvertently dug up on these two trap dirt hole sets?

Tejas. No I had no chain dig ups. I do like MR Ogorman's does Drag first Then coil your chain just right. Add some more dirt and bed trap on top of chain and dirt

Steeltraps,

Have you ever read Tom Miranda's "Competition Line Coyote Trapping" book? He shows his theory of the 2 trap set with a single dirt hole and then shows the set inverted with 2 holes and one trap. Suppose to have a comparable success catch rate but I've never took the time to get conclusive results.

Silkyplainscoyot. Believe it or not I have that book at home I haven't read it in years. But I will read it again. The 2 traps idea is working well for me

Connor used to advocate two traps to a set back when he had grey's, cats and coyotes possible and fur prices were a whole lot higher.

Just throwing that out there.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

When in that situation of adc or straight up cat trapping you might try this,,, I 'm a big fan of 2 trap's at a set on problem coyotes (or spring summer type) and cat sets when needed. I just bring trap and drag for both. And have been rewarded for it , by catching a coyote in each trap a few times.
And if i must stake I use one stake hook other trap to first trap chain. So now basically one long chain coming off the one stake.
I'am a longer chain guy24" to 36"

Problem yote that i finally caught by one toe. Good swiveling kept him in the trap just long enough.
