Only thing I learned about using a tree is it gives them something to brace and pullouts go up.....

Good advice. That tree set ought to work but next time move it to the right where the dirt meets the trail.

I like to put rocks or sticks on the back and sides of the hole to discourage them from working it from the side, but like others have said, the coyotes will tell you exactly what you’re doing wrong, or right. Just gotta pay attention to the sign "I have two guns, one for each of ya."
