Is that because you are trapping pressured coyotes or do you think flat sets out perform other sets on all coyotes?

It’s about time you can’t use bait anyways, ants are starting to roam.

Great pics! And can’t wait to hear about the drags. I have a dozen made up, just nervous about using them. I’m finally on a property I can give them a shot.

Good luck in Texas and thanks for all your help.

Like always, you are getting it done

[quote=8117 Steve R]Is that because you are trapping pressured coyotes or do you think flat sets out perform other sets on all coyotes?[/quote. Trapped these properties for almost 10 years now. 3 times a year. Feel that = bait has been causing some problems = walk bys stall outs general = trap shyness. PLUS everyone around me uses dirtholes and pipes. Plus. This trip. I made some small and simple changes. That really made a difference

Thanks Wannabe. You are right on them ants !!! First time I have ever noticed = massive amounts of ants this early. Plus. Made be a bad year = in south for = misquote and bull nats

Thanks. More I go to Texas. The more I get to see. This will be a place I have never been to. Will post of some = Landscape pics latter. Looks like lots of big country and rock mountains. Video from landmanager = he point toward and says. == Way over there is = Mexico. I am VERY excited about working that part of Texas

Keep your head on a swivel. Lots of traffic down there now.

I will. Get my scope on tomorrow. I have several high end AR 15s. But this = built upper is going on my = truck or buggy gun. Bushmaster with = Chip McCormic trigger. Going to mount = 1x6x24 Vortex Razor on it tomorrow when it comes in. Was told by landmanager. Have pistol on you at all times. AR 15 close

i have had good luck with these^^^^^ White Mountain barrells 7 twist Gov Profile Set up like SF uses . Adjustable gas block and so On . Will shoot 77gr SMK out of it . Should be good on man sized targets out to 800 yards with 1x6x24 scope. Already chronograph loads with = Magneto Speed and ES for this load and barrell is VERY good

Nice work!

In the safe. I have a = 120 rd Beta Drum Clip for AR 15. LoL! Was joking with friend about it

Thanks. Will take me days. To load up for Texas. May have some more pics to load.

What is your usual trap placement on your flat sets?

Canebrake. To be honest. I never think much about it. May sound hard to explain but. After 35 years of catching coyotes I just = think about how The coyote will approach the set. What the wind will be doing. And set trap accordingly. I generally of set to the right. Think about how = a coyote usually works a set on a 45 and think about the wind That my main thing. BUT. I would say = 9 inch back. 3 inch right. Would be close or often closes used overall pattern of how I might set trap. Maybe LOL!

ST are your super long chains your standard or just in the south and why may I ask

On drags or stakes???

I just look at the pics and assume they are on stakes , I see a long chain with springs to control shock I do believe , just always used short chains on stakes in Illinois I am only asking because I know you know your stuff . Jon

Yes. I use shock springs on both drags and stakes. States that have longer check times. Is a good reason for shock bars. Less damage.

I understand thanks for the expert advice
