I set out quite a few new sets yesterday. A few more dirt holes and several each pipe dream and urine post sets. Nothing bothered last night but the wind came up after dark 20-30 mph so I’m guessing they might have just layer up for the night. I think I’m ready for him when he does get out and make the rounds though.

In my opinion soft, fresh dug dirt and poorly bedded traps account for way more diggers than scent contamination. And for the coyote that looked at your set from three feet away, I would bet you used too much lure, and his nose told him everything he needed to know about it from a distance so he didn’t need to investigate further. I with you on this Bob. I have a remake site that caught its 6 th coyote in 16 days. The last catch. I literally just wiped the blood and pile of coyote hair of the trap and reset it
