Does anybody set for coyotes in the middle of a field. I have always set my traps very close to the edge of the Woods. Or next to a Hedgerow that runs between two fields. I know these dogs travel across the middle of the field but I've just never tried it.

Yes, I like to set near paths or terrain features such as dikes(terraces) . once you find a spot that works it will produce year after year. Good luck

Look for groundhog holes out in the field. Set upwind of those.
And if it's a high point in the feild, all the better.
And where the grain truck repeatedly drives and makes a good 2 track is a good choice

Terraces, pond in middle of field, weedy and grassy draws, little drainage ditches, sometimes all kinds of features out in middle of field and any coyote in area worth its salt knows they are there. Less pressure fom hunters too.

I'll scan across the field and pick the highest spot or any ant mound is bound to be hot

Yep. In Montana there’s a lot of dry land farms, and small washes through the middle of those fields are great for coyote

Your possum catch will go down out in the middle of a field.

Some of my best locations are open pasture with a saddle running through it. Hot travel spots and they dig for field mice.

Are there tracks in the middle of the field, or are you just taking about throwing a set out for looks and see if it connects?

Always tracks in winter. Just no structure to make a set . I thinking about a pipe set in a clump of hay

In the fall before the snow falls take a post hole digger and dig a big hole and pile up the dirt so It's noticeable. Or just haul a load of dirt out there. Or take a single square bale and place it out In the field. Then make a set near by.

Open fields are about all I trap. No deer hunters out there but plenty of yotes. Posts are yote killin locations.
4th and 5th yote here.

a plastic bag, no color preferance on a two or three foot stick in middle open field works great . I make three differant type sets around the flag stick. After two three catch circles , make just urine or flat sets as season progresses...

Awesome do you put the post out before the season starts

Yoteguts
WOW look at all that white sand !!!!!

We have “white sand” here too with up to another 10 inches forecast for the next week.

We have more mud than snow it seems. Posts are already there. Usually they also mark a crop change those are even better.

do it every year. When the crops are combined I have piled the waste whether it is straw or bean stems. Give them something to spot they will check it out. I set on these piles and have had good success.

Post yes, yoteguts but in your pic you also have a nice line there between two different fields. Always an edge somewhere, right?
