I see where you said you moved 4 feet over for your remake after you caught that female. If they’re on a drag and away from the set, why do you still move for a remake? 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

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