Coyote Trapping - All the help I can get - 11/12/18 09:28 PM
Hey folks,
I have posted a few questions in the past and have tried to figure things out on my own...which isn't working. What I am after is some serious critiques of my sets (which I will try to post on Wednesday after my next check so I can get some photos...they may be in the dark so hopefully I can get enough light to see them in photo). Also any advice that will help me connect with a coyote would be awesome, a coyote is the animal that I have been after since I started trapping. Until three years ago I had never trapped anything more than the occasional house mouse and I don't know anyone that can show me the ropes. I never put up numbers and that doesn't bother me as I do this mostly for a hobby to keep me active. But I cannot seem to connect with a coyote, I don't know what I am doing wrong, I have tried p-post sets off the sides of roads, plain ol dirtholes, flat sets, and some modified sets that I thought would work. I'm open to suggestions and all advice and I have some pretty thick skin so really lay it on me. Sorry I don't have any pictures of my sets yet but if there is anything that you can tell me before I get them up I would really appreciate it.
