they don't work a set as hard over at times,less foot movement unless there's something they really want.

Two words you never say in trapping or hunting,never and always.Coyotes being a coyote,there will never be magic in a bottle or jar,lure or bait.

And I have no illusions that was the first coyote or time that set was visited.

Ok, guess I didn’t make my post clear. I’m not supposed to be kneeling, excessive stretching, etc…I just wanted to see if I “could” make a set. I found “the spot” from reading the Post Set thread so I made one.

You can see the “cleared” spot in the photo…trap. I was just wondering should I have placed it differently. I didn’t over block and tried to make it as natural as possible. Yes, if I was back to my normal self I would have had two traps there, lol. And probably another set on the other side to cover different winds. But unfortunately I’m not to that point yet.

The lures I used are lures I trust and have caught coyotes on before. I generally always use urine and a lure. Sometimes 2 like this set. As far as bait goes, down here that’s just asking for an ant bed before dark. If it was say 60 degrees cooler I would definitely have a bait at one set. Winter also brings rain and softer ground, right now it’s almost cement.

Seldom, you are correct, what lure is he actually interested in? Can’t answer that yet. I’ve caught on both by themselves so I’d say both, but in another 2-3 weeks I’ll put each to the test when I can start making sets. Doc wants me to hold off for now to make sure my hip doesn’t pop out of socket. I understand that’s quite painful, lol. I will say I watch your videos and rad everything you post. There’s a lure your test seems to perform in, but I never made a catch on it and neither did my son. Not saying it’s the lure’s fault, it was probably ours in our application. I may try it again one day, but so far I’m having success with Lucero’s lures. And that in itself, is interesting because the first batch I got to try out came second hand from a guy here in Georgia who told me they didn’t work for him. And he catches critters so it wasn’t his application.
