Thanks MC !

MC, I always pondered this about drags.
Maybe you and some other folks can shed a little light on the subject.

I realize there are many good reasons for using drags.
One reason that I hear is to preserve a good set location.

We all know that an anchored catch tears up an otherwise good set location.
The general consensus is in some instances that is not a good thing.
In other cases the circle is a gold mine of great interest.
In either case a coyote is very interested in that circle of smell even if he wont step foot I it.

Now, when a coyote takes off on a drag to parts unknown he eventually gets hung up somewhere.
That entanglement site might be close or far away from the original spot.
In either case you now have a hot spot created that draws attention away from the original location where your sets are.
You know any coyote that gets a whiff of that circle is not going to pass it up.


In this case do you usually make a set wherever the coyote happens to get hung up to snag strays?

By the way, I have recently caught up on the entire thread and there are LOTS of great coyote information and insight contained in this thread.
Well done, guys...

Still getting it done my old friend TEJAS

Lots of great information this entire thread.

Tejas, you on the same ground usually?

by the way, enjoyed all these posts, learned a lot and if we ever get coyotes.....

Here in NY, I use the pipe set as much as possible.
We can get some ridiculous amounts of rain in short order and everything is mud. This guy fell to it……
