is there a predator set where you can just put the trap on top of the ground?

thanks!

The hay set.

Thats it, I believe

Buried set

exposed pan set?

Dig a hole!

Nest predator set. That said I knew a kid one time that set a 1-1/2 trap on top of the ground wired to a tree with a piece of deer meat in the pan and caught a grey fox. Could he do it again? I don't know

Coyote set above ground.. Called a Snare or Cable Restraint.

The trap still needs to be BEDDED.

Exposed sets work well for bobcat and sometimes fox. Once in a while you get a coyote in one but it’s rare. With snow on the ground you can set on top of the ground and cover with snow, but you’re definitely not going to have much luck without some type of covering. I have never used a gay set so I can’t speak to that

I have never bedded a trap when making haysets and caught plenty of red fox that way.

Question refers to coyotes. How many coyotes have you caught that way??

The question Is how many did you Miss using that method.

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if someone did. With all the feathers, cd’s, and other attractors guys trapping cats hang above traps one would think a few coyotes would have been distracted enough to do it.
Wether it could be don3 on purpose short of a hay set type of thing I’m not sure.

Osky

I have caged 3 in all my years give that a shot.

I will pass,a rifle is much easier

There's way too much money involved. And, it probably doesn't mean much to any of them.

I'm so glad to live where I do and have endless public land: Federal, State, and county. Granted a lot of it sucks for deer, but it's open to anyone...for free!

All young ones?

Not true pups caught a couple in bucket sets also.

I only ever used hay sets once it snowed and used two traps at a set.Tracks don`t lie,I missed some but not many. He asked about predators not coyote so my mistake.
