This rainy day coyote makes the seventh day of consecutive catches at this location.

This male had some serious talent.
Notice the worked set in the background.
He made it by a total of four flat sets and was still mobile.
Five was not his lucky number.

Most coyotes of this caliber walk away from single or double presentations.

The look on his face says it all.

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?





TEJAS, I wanted to revisit your question and provide some insight into some of my experiences with drags and those "hot spots" you mentioned. One of my trapping mentors, who was a career western gov't trapper, instructed me to always use a fresh trap in the original trap bed and then put in a set with the "used" trap at the hot spot, or where the coyote hung up. Using this knowledge has netted A LOT of repeat catches in both set locations. You are absolutely right in that you cannot ignore those hot spots.

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...


Sit with warriors. The conversation is different.
