Ok I'm done now

… if you’re serious ..then that failed mule deer hunt made you too sensitive lol

Thanks guys for the info, I’m goin out today to set one more but there is a deer carcass they where checking out so I have trap set 25 feet back. There is a front coming so I’m getting every type of set out I can. How would you trap in super wet freezing conditions? I have wax dirt

Thanks for sharing yes sir, I do feel lucky savell!

.. sorry E I don’t deal with much freezing down here.. I would think your waxed dirt would get you through

… maybe yessir will get unmad and give you his experience with that type of situation

I'd likely hold my waxed dirt until it was really needed unless 1) you are planning on staying set on that location for a very extended period or 2) you have a large supply of dirt and there's little chance of running out later in season. Of course the weather is fickle enough that we may go from dry and warm to wet and frozen hard but normally that weather is a ways off. I'd set basically as normal given the forecast I'm seeing here for the next 10 days. Your forecast could be different but I dont see anything in the cold range that would have me concerned. Try to pick higher locations and sets that wont be as likely to hold standing water, etc but sets can take an amazing amount of water and still function.

its goin to be down in the freezing temps at night for the next week atleast and this thursday its goin to snow and freeze and its been raining for the past few days so im trying to prep the traps so they can handle anything

… sounds like a good plan to me E… those canines will move after that front comes through

Save the waxed stuff
Salt is cheaper and easier to get

k, i will try and get em all reset

Trench sets and step-down dirt hole sets are good. The step down is the most natural imo

If your on location and using the right stuff, even the weather won't keep'm out of your traps. Compliments of yes sir!

Sure... i used ur advice in my first coyote.


Love you

… see yes sir….. you’re a hero of the people

Whoa! I don't even let my Mother talk to me like that.

We will have a lot of freezing days and nights here later this year. Now not so now much but definitely later on. Just use good dry dirt now for bedding and blending in. As it does start to freeze and I mean when ground freezes hard then the waxed dirt will really shine. Save it for later when you will need it.

I like to get that way sometimes

You are far too young to be into the "Giggle Juice" already.

I appreciate the input NTO but you have only caught one coyote so how can you say those two sets work?

E… you got those sets in and ready ?
