Yeah I am up to 10 fox.
8 foothold and 2 cable.

Did get one last night in a hay set that sat for a while.
Just seemed the last 3 weeks I couldn’t do anything and coyotes pay no interest whatsoever.

If you're using wax dirt and or peat, you need a really big pattern. They need to get used to it before they get to the trap bed. Spread it out, throw some all over. Kind of like you are blending the ground to your trap bed. If the dirt or peat is only in the trap bed it''s a red flag for them.

Very good, Do you have a Clean trap bag & a remake bag ? . Are you using fresh traps when you are having these problems

I will try broadcasting the waxed dirt around.

I do not have a remake bag but some of the trouble areas have been traps and spots where I haven’t made a catch. A few have.

I can't speak for broadcasting bedding materials, but I don't have a remake bag or separate tools or anything like that, I can only haul so much around. So I carry a couple spare traps along in case I have a mechanical failure with a trap or anchor, and in case I notice new spots I want to set, or if I have a miss I like to add a trap.
