Sorry its in three parts and about 10 minutes long. Guess I need to work on my video production.

I just wanted to share with everyone how I make my sets. Not that I am an expert, I do not claim to be, but gives people ideas how others are do their sets and open discussion where we all can learn.

I've learned so much from so many on this site and appreciate it.

I had caught a coyote here 6 days ago or so, a female. She didn't make a big trap circle, I believe she just got caught that morning. Anyways I usually set again in the middle, but the old trap area was really muddy.

First check tomorrow and I'll post what happens. I usually get one the second or third check or later, but rarely on the first check, but we'll see.

Thanks Tim, Like I stated I am no expert. I've had good luck trapping coyotes in the last 3 seasons greatly because of all the help I recieved on this site.


Just wanted to help others and open discussion.

Great video esspecially for the newer trappers on here. I agree with MNcooner. More videos on here like this one would help many struggling with the hows and whys of set construction. \:\)

Trapper #1, I use non-iodized salt, I get it in a 40lb bag at the Farm Co-op, however most taxidermist use it and you could call to see where they get theirs from. I pay about 6.50 a bag or so.


Todays check: Nothing, but I did get a coon in a snare set that I video'd and I'll be posting that.

Missouri Trapper, well I am not sure, I get it for my furs I get tanned, so I use it on my traps.

Anyone have any idea if it matters?

Well nothing again today, like I said, its usually 3rd, 4th checks that there is any action.

Fresh snow and no tracks anywhere. These yotes usually run a 3 day routine, there for 3 days, gone for 3 days. They should be out tonight
