If gotta disagree on this one.

Set a dirty trap back in the ground here right now and you WILL get dug.


I don’t see that here...never have....when setting trap right back where it was when it caught the 1st coyote...in that coyote saturated dirt.

You must have smarter coyotes than me.

To the original post,..Bishops( sp) trapping instructions, did the rounds during the fur boom. Dan, maybe?
Doubled up with Milligan and others, I think, use to Add previous to convention datelines.Motel times.
There were a couple Bishop methods at the time,..one was considered fraudulant and misleading at the time.
A booklet was established, similar to a larger format as O'gorman put out.
I am sure there are some on here that remember that time, that may contribute more?

Imo, location is the most important consideration for those three animals.


Is a otter toilet a lure?

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

My brother went to one of Dan Bishops instruction classes, the only thing I remember was he taught to set two traps at every fox set. No coyotes around yet. I think he went to Rochester Mn.

I always thought body grip setters were all hype but as I get older maybe not. I actually picked a set out of a metal scrap dumpster but haven’t used them yet.

I do indeed remember Dan bishop
Although I never went to any of his seminars, I do remember seeing his ads in magazines.

I do remember the soup can trap, it was made nearby here in SE Nebraska. I caught a few coons on them but they didn’t last long the springs got weak after just a couple seasons and I had a couple buckets full of soup cans I’d saved up to go recycle.

Im pretty sure you wanted to "stomp" it right over the pan so the animal followed suit.
