You can tell them dogs run in rough country with all those scars.Post up a couple pics of remakes.

Y'all snowed in James?

We had freezing rain that stuck to all the trees, but that was about it.

By late afternoon yesterday it was melting quickly.

Yes the poop becomes a focal point. I do not use it as a guide. I crowd the attractant with no offset.

Any set or attractant that promotes digging is bad news here.

Although bait works well at remakes, the digging seemed to cause more defeats than catches.

All it takes is few savvy diggers on the line to cause a whole lot of problems.

If I remake a set I want it to be because of a catch not a defeat.

But if traps are bedded solidly, shouldn’t chances of being dug up be just as low as the original set? Not being argumentative, just trying to understand your methods and reasons for doing what you do……

My apologies T67

I hit the post button before I was finished. I edited it after you posted.


After the first catch the hard pan is gone on the remake.

I do not dig another bed in the existing hard pan because it would be too low.

I rake the circle level and bed the trap in the loose sand. It beds well with little issues.

Whether it is on hard or loose soil, digging is bad for business in these parts.

Awesome thread TEJAS, looks
Like you put a whoopin on em. do you still use many of James Lucero lures ?

You Betcha’ WR !

JL#1, Winter Wolf, & Coyotero have remained my top three lures for quite a few years now.

Awesome, coyotero is definitely my #1, I have winter wolf, JL 1, and a couple secret lures that he hasn’t made in a looong time lol. For JL 1 and winter wolf is it more weather based or you use them all year? I use coyotero all year

And have you bought any lures recently from him ?

how can a man get some of these JL lures and baits ?????

I have not WR.

I use lure very sparingly, so a bottle goes a long way.

JL# 1 has produced the most coyotes for me.

Coyotero & Winter Wolf usually run neck and neck for second place.

I know a Gov. trapper out West that's had great luck with Coyotero.

He only sells three lures.

JL#1 - COYOTERO - WINTER WOLF


Here is Mr. Lucero's contact info. Just give him a shout

You bet I’m a govt trapper in NM and coyotero is my #1 so far

If James is not making Night Train anymore I'm glad I have a couple bottles.

Pretty sure he quit making that a few years ago

Tejas,

Thank you for this thread. I have skipped by it because I am mostly water trapper. I haven't land trapped in 25 years. However recently I decided to throw my hat in the ring and try to reduce the coyote population on the property that I bow hunt on for the same reasons that you do. Reducing fawn mortality. Property has not been trapped in a while. Landowner wants the coyotes gone. I clicked on your thread just to see if I could gain some insight.. I'm not all the way through all 71 pages yet but I'm getting there. Anyway, Very informative. I'm already planning how I'm going to approach it. Besides the obvious trapping tips, The big thing that I've taken so far from it is that we as outdoorsmen and women can apply your tactics to other species. If something is not working, change it up. Think out of the box. Read what the sign is telling you. React accordingly. Sound cliche but it's the truth. Sometimes We get in a rut and apply the same tactics in the same ways. Myself included. I keep re-learning this all the time. LOL Anyway, Job well done sir! May I ask you some questions?

You’re Welcome 1Simplemann !

Your takeaway from this thread is right on the money!

It’s good that we bounce ideas and experiences off one another.

If we continue to learn we continue to improve.


Feel free to ask whatever questions come to mind.

There are a lot of top shelf coyote trappers on T-Man that chime in from time to time.
