But you could have made 2 sets 20' apart and caught 2 coyotes and been done with the job a lot quicker.

Some place"s I trap 2 twice a year. This place I am on gets 3 times a year. I have been on this place for 5 years now. But I get your point. This location. Had another set. Flat Set. About 20 yards away. Double trap. Chain together. Tracks in the sand = indicate this coyote was alone

I can see the 2 trap thing when ADC trapping but with fur trapping I would rather set more locations then setting less with 2 traps. If I get a tracked pattern and the trap Is still set I figure that coyote is going to get caught sooner or later at that location. And In this country digging 2 trap beds and burying all that chain would be a real pain In the rear. But In ideal ground conditions it would be less of a problem.

I had the same mindset as Beav, but I've given it a lot of thought. Ive got plenty of traps, I'll do 2 traps at a set after the coon hole up this season. Should cut down on misses especially with snow. The yote that left that track may never return!
Common sense catches alot of fur.. Pay homage to all you harvest..

If I am on a 10 day job In a hard trapped place And on day 7 a coyote ALMOST steps on the pan He May not come back around for 7 more days. I will be leaving on day 10. And will not get him cause I am already home ! LoL

If ya don't set 2-3 per location, how do you catch doubles and triples?
And, when 1 or 2 get a non-target, then ya still have 1 working for yotes!
My landowners want them GONE! They'll be at least 3 sets per location, gotta give em choices and I want every one..

My landowners want them GONE! Lots of places in south Alabama have no coons or possums And skunks are all but gone down here So I let the sign I see tell me how many traps to set

It must be really frustrating when you have 2 traps at a set and still miss that critter. LOL

In a situation where I’m having a tough time getting the backing to naturally guide a coyote to one side or the other I will use two traps. The norm is only one though, usually one is enough because through the power of suggestion and manipulation of a coyotes natural tendencies I can generally make them approach the way I want them to.
