OK. Good question! IF you look at 2 o’clock. Right of black bag 3 pictures up. You will see where Coyote hung up on chain. She was = or looked to be. Pregnant female. They fight hard. Tore up my backing. This area has no cows now. SO running lure and urine and pipe. 4 foot over. Had good backing AND. It’s hard to see in pic. It had leveler ground


Gotcha! Thanks for the reply

Steel traps are I thought I picked up on something the end of this season and wanted your input. After following this thread for a long time I decided to use some very minimalist flat sets. Minimal backing short baited pipe driven to ground level in backing sometimes small amount of lure but nothing loud blending set to look like nothing there. Seems to get more activity than dirt holes with same bait and or lure and got attention faster. I was also using a natural bait for my area with no additives. Do you think that trying to leave things natural and mostly undisturbed not necessarily having eye appeal is a better strategy on smart coyotes. I also noticed a drop in non targets that could have just been coincidence

Turkn8rtrapper. I like natural looking flat sets. The pipe?? It’s just a = odor carrier. It holds = bait or lure. Bamboo pipe works well. That’s where I got the idea was in 90s from Wiley Carrol book. The bamboo that is. Pipe? Just easier to carry on jobs. I do use some dirt holes. When time - season- and conditions are right. Most places out west. Holes just collapsed. AND in south —-small baits. Less coins and possums ! Eye appeal works. But the Coyote. Lives and dies by his or her nose. Plus. These coyotes and many in sheep country. Are all ready on high alert. Busted up or disturbed grown. Makes them suspicious. So why put them on high alert??? Just a good flat set. Small amount of lure. SMC urine from a good friend. And start catching coyotes. Well. Got to go run a few snares

ST,
Does full time coyote trapping on big western ranches cause one to drink a lot of liquor?

Doing what you are supposed to be paid for at the best of your ability is admirable when you are unsure of being paid on time

You can walk away and never be guilty of not holding up your end of the bargain wink

Hope they pay on time, but their loss if they don't

Silly observation on my part I guess, but I never realized that a coyote could open it's mouth at that extreme of an angle as in the pic above. Appreciate you posting all of this!

Chris, check further into t as their gun laws are WAY DIFFERENT than what you are used to....it would be an adventure of a lifetime though. AND padded traps are mandatory,
