I’ve done some searching on here and haven’t found anything to work in my situation. I have found myself using a lot of compass sets especially near a catch circle. I have caught more coyotes in that set than any other by a pretty large margin. The biggest problem with it is the holes get full of water and wash the lure away so easily. Anybody have an idea for a lure holder that won’t be effected as badly by rain but can still be almost completely out of sight?
The only thing I have came up with so far is to stick sheep’s wool in the hole and place leaves turned over directly above the holes. This works ok for light drizzles but very much rain and you are out of business.

Isn't that pretty much the whole purpose of the pipe dream set?
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

I can’t find a way to get the pipes to blend in. When I walk away from a compass set I wanna have trouble seeing where it’s at the next day.

I can’t find a way to get the pipes to blend in. . most folks pull up some local grass/weeds to cover the pipe with....... local duff/debris/leaves.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

One thing I use is spent shotgun shells, knock out the primer, ,instant drain hole, after I drill out my hole, I hold the shell a little above ground level, and then pack a little dirt around it to hold it. I use them alot up here because I'm trapping in sand and the bait holes collapse.
Disadvantage: You can't get your bait or lure down as deep as some like to.
They do seem to work for me up here.

I use 4" sections of bamboo I stuff them with sheep's wool. As oily as sheep wool Is I don't worry about rain. I can add a lure to the wool but that dirty sheep wool has enough of a scent on It's own.

Double rock set or similar (from Charles Dobbins "Variations" book) keeps lures off the ground AND outa the rain, easy peasy.
Didn't you get the memo to ask a loved one for THAT book (and his Land Sets book) for birthday or Christmas or Easter or Labor Day or anniversary gift?
Or how he used sod, Lands Sets is a great book too. I wore the pages off. Charlie went into great details on how and why it all works from an animals perspective. Get the lure off the ground up in the air currents. Use grey pipe, no need to blend. The pipe is the eye appeal.

I can add a lure to the wool but that dirty sheep wool has enough of a scent on It's own. I currently use sheep wool a lot. We have about 20 ewes that get sheared twice a year so I have garbage bags full of the stuff. Actually thought about selling it. In the spring it seems to be loaded with yellow lanolin.
