If coyotes are trickling in and getting caught in your sets, how would they be getting educated?
It seems like you would do better to catch them as they come in instead of the population being loaded and seeing all their buddies get caught
In a perfect world the newcomers wouldn’t become educated if they were all caught at the first set they came across. Unfortunately that is not always the case.
When a transient coyote wanders in here and walks by a host of catch circles scattered along the roadway like a minefield you can bet it is going to make an impression.
With every circle he encounters he gets slapped on the sniffer with a gross olfactory overload of coyote stink and numerous attractant smells.
Rest assured that can and will raise a huge red flag. The element of surprise is instantly forfeited, and you can bet that coyote is on point from that moment on.
That is giving any new coyote an edge as soon as he steps onto the property.
My catch numbers are much better If I get a lot of coyotes rolling in here before I set.
This allows me to kill more coyotes in a shorter amount of time with fewer disturbances.
That way i can send a good percentage of the contestants to
Coyote Restland before the last few survivors catch on.
That is just
one reason why I gang set so much.Gang setting can help keep education to a minimum by simply snagging more coyotes on their
first and only visit.
