Blind sets are extremely productive in some situations.

Way to go. First time I tried blind sets it was killing me not to put bait or lure at the set...habits are hard to break. After a bunch of coon, fox, and coyotes I'm a firm believer in a good blind set and now always throw one in, often where I also have had other sets. Lots of surprises and opportunities to talk to myself on way back to the truck..."man I'm glad I put that blind set in."
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Just another trick to add to your bag of tricks to help increase your catches. Very simple to make that can yield some nice results. Well worth throwing a few out there.

Blind sets and trail sets are my go to, doesn’t matter which way the wind blows, the mood of the animal, or the direction of travel.

Not sure if this is valid or not but one of the reasons I decided to try a blind set is that without bait or lure nothing is attracted to the trail or the sets other than what normally run that trail.

I had one last year that I set on a coon trail, caught one, and reset...well, rain happened and the set remained underwater/ice for the remainder of the season, I caught about four more without having to do anything but reset the trap! Great learning experience!

Use them when they present themselves. Three footed yote in a blind set. That's exactly what I learned from this. Sets are a tool, just pick the right tool for the job at hand. Thanks fellas, there's some good info here, keep it coming, I've got a lot to learn.
