ST, I am assuming the tarp is for scent control. Is the orange “X” to tell you which side goes up? If for scent control, How do you store it? Do you ever clean it?

Crappie Killer. The Orange X. Is the clean side. It goes up Untreated Canvas tarp is what the Old Timers used. Also helps make good clean Flat Sets. Trying. To make it look like it did before I set trap there. This place is HARD to blend traps sometimes. Just store it in clean place with clean traps. It’s a newer Tarp. Heavier. For West Texas winds. The Untreated Canvas tarp I took to = James Lucero for lessons. Was 10oz tarp. As in 10oz per foot on 6 ft tarp. I went to take lesson from James Lucero. Strictly = to learn the = Old Wolfer ways that are being vastly forgotten

Steel, your set making and blending is probably the best i have ever seen, especially with a huge drag hole. The one thing i notice or dont notice i guess is much small foot guiding, but maybe its there and i cant pinpoint on photos such as small rocks or twins to make them step on the pan. Maybe the population density and coyote behavior is different so its not needed. I would pay money and mail you a tripod if you would make a couple set making videos. So many trappers would benefit from it i bet.

Ok, picked up a 10oz tarp today. It is untreated 4’x12’. Going to fold it over and sew the edges to make a 4’x6’. Double thick

Shortliner16. I am back in sheep country. I don’t have my last year or year before Log book before me but. Last 4 years. Off top of my head was = 423 coyotes on year - 541 coyotes next year 514 coyotes next year and 413 last year. So around 1900 or so coyotes I have killed in last 4 years. Let’s say minus 300 in snares. That brings me to about = 1600 coyotes. And I never used any guiding that I can remember. NOW. On a dirt hole ? I may put a = log or piece of wood back about 24 inch’s from dirt hole. I put urine on that. I run about 90 % Flat Sets. BUT I use the dirt hole in the winter some OR when I need to clean up a bunch of pups
