I'm sure this is a pretty basic question but still feel I should ask. As I transition from a coon to canine trapper Im trying to line up my schedule.
Our gun season runs through the last weekend of November. During those 9 days the woods are full of gut piles that are cleaned up by the yotes and wolves. How many weeks until they are hungry enough to start getting curious and working my sets.

What is tough is getting a set in the right place. Harder to find when they bunch up around scrap, gut and carcasses. They dont have to be hungry to catch them. Like was already said a week or so those easy meals are gone. dead cow will change things too. they last longer. often you dont know about it. Do like the coyotes and keep an eye on birds like ravens and crows.

CRs on Dec 1st. And If we ever get the CR legal on private land at the start of the coyote season we will be good to go.

You would think a number of yotes get shot off, spooked, ran hard plus the woods are full of gut piles you would think they would become a mess then.

I trapped that country where you are and I would be catching those coyotes before the gun season. Anyway that's what I did. We caught some skunks they might be worth more then the coyotes.

I've never noticed a lul other than the coyotes seem to travel/move around less, I always feel it's due to the increase of human invasion. They seem just as hungry/ cuirios to me. Deer are similar the more human invasion there travel/movement declines. My thoughts also. Most all lures and baits have additional curiosity ingredients in them and those are what really takes the attraction to the next level. All the testing ive done shows that a good food base is good but it's the extra curiosity ingredient that take it to the next level. If you really think a lack of hunger is decreasing your catch go to real coyote pee. The more I watch coyotes on camera the more I'm thinking real pee is a much better attraction than most of us believe. Never seen a coyote walk past where another coyote peed on camera. I think same will even come check out his own pee next time through.

Pass-thru and blind sets and after November, CRs. Nothing moves as freely with an invasion into their territories, but they all eat!

I dont start until day after gun season. Pee post sets work awesome...seems like they are always interested in what other coyotes are visiting their gut piles and unclaimed kills. I run about half baited dirtholes and half pee posts. Both work well here. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
