well now did they work???

It works better with a dogless style trap.

Only coons and possums so far.

We got an inch of rain last night and somewhat cooler temps. Hopefully the coyotes moved better. There aren't a ton of them around, the thermal guys and houndsmen have been knocking them back pretty good the last couple years.



Any particular reason?

I’d like to know too.

keep us posted

When you are using your hammer to set the dirt around the jaws (watch Zagger's video) you can trip the trap off if you tap around the dog area. I have caught yotes using both style traps, but dogless is easier. Most dogless traps have lower sitting pans that won't interfere with the screen.

I could see that. I tap more just on the four "corners" to pinch the trap in. But I am a novice at this also. Seems to bed the trap solid for me.

Well, we've had 2 inches of rain over the last few days, and I have resisted the urge to mess with the sets.
I was greeted with this on today's check.
Remakes were definitely easier with the wet soil. It stayed together better when cutting the hole and pinching the trap in tight.

that is very nice

Thanks for the update and congrats!

Good deal k snow !

thumbs up

Very nice. Learning and catching. Confidence in a set is one of the biggest hurdles

Looks like you made it work like supposed to. Good deal.

trying new sets is always fun especially when they work. I think that's why I enjoy the difficult critters the most. Figuring out what to change or do to catch them. one of these years I'm wanting to experiment building a dhead fall trap.
