Urine on scat vs urine on backing/feature located opposite or 90deg to scat location. And maybe no visual at all and just a squirt on the dirt.
But I also know you like to put scent on something you can relocate to get them where you want them to be

You said more foot movement and having multiple focal points will certainly get them stepping around to investigate

At least that is my best guess until I get another clue

I love this thread. This is like getting a sneak peak at Doctorate curriculum in catching Wiley when your still a freshman. Interesting stuff. Thank You T for sharing.

I think you have stumped the trappers Tejas! Or maybe no one wants to be wrong in public. Either way, it makes me think and think… and think. Good job on this thread.

Thanks Fellas.

As all of you well know, getting folks to think is what this thread is all about.

The method used and results shown prove that this is far from a coincidental string of catches.

I think I will take this question off table for the time being. I’m sure it will be brought back up on down the line.

I will continue to apply this method under certain circumstances with no variables and see if its effectiveness continues to pan out.

The same method just discussed produces another coyote for six total.

That makes back to o back catches at this set.


This long lanky 3 year old female appeared pretty cool on the outside.




Proximity quickly changed that demeanor.

A little closer look brought a much more defensive look & stance.




Then you have the “Call My Bluff” game face.

Not sure if this is what you are doing, but I dribble a little urine in front of the trap as they would approach. Gives them the confidence to move forward and get a whiff of the urine that's behind the trap.
