To Pawnee's point, go find where a dog has dug. The area is going to look disturbed like his pics show. Notice the backing that Pawnee has in his second pic on the right behind the hole. Ain't gotta be much.

Guess it does make sense though I will definitely be doing that! Coyote trapping addict

One thing not mentioned yet, is in the 4th pic down, some of those dirt clods are bigger than I'd like to have in the trap bed. True, usually dirt clods when caught between the jaws would just crumble, but I've actually had dirt clods caught in the corners of the jaws prevent the jaws from closing all the way. And with clods as big as some of those you could even have a small stone inside one and not know it. Probably not a big deal overall, just one thing I noticed that would bug me if it was my own set, lol. Everything else looks great. Blending a trap in to bare dirt is relatively easy. Next you should try blending them into different areas... woods, grassy field, sod, etc. Thanks definitely will do in the woods tomorrow! Coyote trapping addict

Forget digging dirt holes and blending right now, practice bedding your trap. Over and over and over. This will speed you up exponentially. You can tell a lot about the level of experience of a trapper giving a demo by how long it takes them to bed their trap Gotta live up to the nickname...
