Theory is coyote comes in at a 45 to check out one hole then steps over small trench to that flat spot in between the holes to check out second hole. Has worked pretty good for me. Keep holes small and deep and keep the small trenches narrow. You want that coyote only stepping 6 or 8 inches from checking out the first hole to the center of ur pan.

Do you cover the trap or leave exposed like that?
