FIRST Night CATCH In A Step Down Dirt Hole Set 

You're a master baiter son.

Best RU-vidr

Awesome job! Keep up the full circle videos. They are great for veteran and new trappers. Thank for all your work from PA

I love the full circle videos. It’s the whole story. Great stuff may wish to put the full circle all in the same video. 👍👍😎

Shhhhhhh....less talky, more worky! Lol

I really like watching your videos they're very informative I've tried trapping for coyote before and was unsuccessful now I believe that I have enough confidence after watching your video that I can do it right with that that particular type of set it's it's really a good set man I mean you've taught me alot

Great set up and great job of explaining everything

I have yotes traveling a roadway through my property. I set up and down that road on the sides in the center everywhere I see tracks but can't get them to come to any set. Even after I pull traps nothing comes to investigate any of the dirt holes or lures or anything. There's always fresh tracks. What am I missing.

Nice song dog nice to see your teaching experience you have gained thank you

Well i gave the step down dirt hole set a try for the first time and got a nice red fox first night thanks for the videos and please keep them coming

Very helpful thank you. Seeing it in full circle goes a long way

Enjoyed the video and have a set of the Duke's pro series 550s on the way. South Carolina here and cant wait to start trapping

What pan tension do you normally? Your full circle set is great. It really shows what works and what doesn't for you. No bs tactics

Thanks for showing the catches!!!!

Its awesome seeing all the support for trappers.

A feed sack works great for a kneeling pad and a spare is always folded up waiting for me to loose the one I'm using. Great videos as always.

Amazing that you have a job and still are able to create such entertaining videos. Good job as always.

thanks for yet another great video. I always enjoy watching and learning from you.

Set on sign !! 👍 If they ain't there the set doesn't matter. Nice video !!!

Do you make your own bait? If so, what does it consist of? Just bought my first set of traps. Thanks.

Trapped when I was a kid, it was a great adventure and we made a few bucks.

Thumbnail goes hard✅💯

Can you please tell me what you are using to finish off the coyote?

Thanks pal. I’ve been havin trouble with coyotes digging up traps.

got a 21 pound racoon one time at grandma's house best BBQ i ever ate God bless that woman real down home cooking north Carolina style

Do you carry your traps in a different container when going to set out a line?

Can you talk about the dispatching shot? Ear hole? Eye? Is a lung/heart shot ok if you want to keep the skull? What’s a proper caliber?

Couple years trapping dps for coons. Got 3 dbl coil traps this year. I kneel on a corn sack inside a corn sack. It folds, it rolls, it weighs nothing. Sharing from my vast storehouse of ignorance. 👊

Good video. Really like the 360 platform

Great video. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge! Always appreciated.

I heard you say a little about scent control I'm new at trapping and set some in the area where I was seeing fox and I seen a pawprint in the dirt close to my set but he didn't work the set hard enough to get caught do you think I'm leaving too much scent there?What do you think it is?

Learned so much from watching you... keep it up as always awesome videos

Proof in the pudding Stu! Great work!

Great vid!! Keep up the good work👍👍

Very cool! Thanks for the instructive video!

Great explanation on the remake, and I like your comments about scent control and "over thinking" things! Good job.

Consider using a game cam to video the catch and direction of travel?

Excellent video, thank’s for sharing!

Pretty good video!! I love that air rifle. What model is it?? I have the Airforce Condor SS .25. Super accurate, very powerful and pretty quiet. Thinking about some custom parts for mine. Hopefully will be pushing out over 105 foot pounds of energy.

Thanks for the good info! This is my second year trapping in Pa. and im struggling with the yotes. Good info is always a help. Thanks again!

Sharp observation and keeping it simple.

I don't hunt or trap but, watching guys like you apply your knowledge on video is interesting. I also watch a guy in Canada and he uses snares. One in particular is called a "Power Ram". He uses huge piles of bait as lure and describes the many trails. Thanks.

Good video! Thanks

Hell yes! Full circle videos are the best!

I'm just getting in to this and thank you for your video. What to you use for bait to get them to the traps and where are good places to put traps at in the woods?

Great video again. Learning a lot from you for my first season trapping. Could you do a video on dispatch gun and location with no blood. I am getting a lot of blood with my sub sonic .22s when dispatching.

Do you eat your catches or do you just trap for pelts?

I really appreciate this. It's rare to see sets and then catches in them, thanks!

So what do you do with the coyote? Please explain. Thanks Andybl

Great setup

I love yalls videos they're highly educational and I have learned a ton from watching this education since I am just starting out with trapping and for now I only have one dp and one bridger 1 3/4

Are the Duke #3's ready to go or do you have to tweak anything to make them work the best? Thanks in advance.

Cool! I got some catching up to do on your videos. Was off of work for a couple weeks and was busy deer hunting and moving into our new house, but I'll go back and watch what a missed. How did you dispatch the coyote? Did you use that air rifle or something else?

Thanks Stu

A variation of your set on sign rule. Sometimes you have to make your own sign. In the Texas panhandle its pasture and ag, not a lot of timber. In January here , the coyotes are breeding.. I would bag coyote scat where I would find it and then make a flat set at the corner of farm road intersections or a point where Ag and pasture meet. My bait was one coyote turd and I would soak it with bought coyote urine. This time of year they are very curious about other coyote's scent marking their territory... or at least its my theory. It also works well on areas where coyotes are trap wary from other trappers. Just wondered what you thought. Love your blog.

Love the video, but really would like to know more on that air gun coon creek, does it put those yotes down pretty good? And do you just put it right between the eyes, ears?

Good video

Nice seeing others use airguns as well. First video I've seen of yours and I enjoyed it! I'll check your channel out! What cal airforce airgun is that? Looks like a talon or a condor. Those are some very powerful adult airguns. I shoot mostly crosman and Benjamin products. I have a 357 bulldog making close to 300fpe I use hog hunting!

Does this set work well in snow covered fields?

Good video keep them coming always learn something

Would be awesome to show how u pull sets cause my finned super stakes won’t ever come out

Thanks going to start this season

I love your vids !!

What do you do with the coyote after you kill it? I don’t think there is hole lo5 of people that eat them.

With bad weather out of play how often are you freshening up on lure

How far back from the bait hole do you have the trap pan ?

Love what you do even though I'm not allowed to in Australia. We can't even set a crab trap in the open sea. Question. When the dog is rubbed so bad do you still use the pelt for maybe making clothing etc? Also What does the meat taste like? Over here it is not illegal to eat dog but it is illegal to sell it as chicken from takeaways etc. An enjoyable video mate as usual and it's good to see you made your point well. Regards bro.

Start to finish in prep and ended in a trapped coyote! Now lets see this yote on the board!

I have a question have the coyotes ever came up on you while you were making a set one did on me the other day

Don't forget to watch the ads to help him out!

Do u use any scents on your flat sets?

Very very nice

Love seeing them catches, nice catch

Great video, thanks for sharing.

Great set and another good catch Stu. What do you like about the air force vs rim fire other than noise?

I like banana pudding!

I love useing the Step Down Dirthole. Like you said, they step in full commitment.

What is that you dispatched the coon with? Does it work on coyotes or just coon?

Awesome videos you do one hell of a job. Great work thank you for putting these out.

Absolutely love your videos... 😁👍

Awesome content. Do you have a video of how you make your wax dirt?

Stu, I checked my work line yesterday morning & 2 of my DP's had ALL food gone but the traps didn't fire. We haven't had rain in over a week & temps we're in low 30's. Any idea what happened? I have never seen DP'S completely empty with out a critter in it

How can a guy over lure? To much of one kind or to many different kinds? Good video buddy

Maybe a little off topic of this video but i have a question on skunk. Are the dog proofs the best traps to use for them or are small foot holds like say a 1 1/2 the best? Thanks in advance

Like you say set on sign , has help me . Thank s

Great job guys

Definitely like the full circle videos, seems more genuine

Awesome as always, keep it up bud!! 👍👍

What size trap is best for coyotes.

6:57 "Won't even turn on the drill." ... Turns on drill

Every time I find the ol dirt hole she slaps me and tells me to stay out of there. 🤪

Thank you for this follow up video, I was wondering if you would. Awesome thanks full circle

Great video always good information thank you

Enjoy your videos. What type of urine do you use for targeting coyotes?

Now that’s a solid coyote catch. 👍

What’s your take on fleas? Do you worry about them or not really?

Stu , Thanks for all you do. I live in a residential area and have many arborvitaes that squirrels love to eat. I have tried everything, but they come back the next year. I loathe Squirrels! NW Indiana. Don’t sweat the negative comments, ultimately you have the final dispatch decision. What if somebody’s pet is in the trap?

Its great that you will have all these trapping memories as you go through your life and it takes guts to share your catch, i live in the exact center of montana and trapping was the thing i enjoyed most, hunting season in the 70,s was over soon but trapping cats went till april, my best catch was a 40 lb bobcat north east of winefred , in the Missouri river breaks , life never ends and a coyotes life has it ups and downs and they hunt also, play your videos like you do, people dont have to watch, besides your sendind creatures to animal heaven ,a awsome place , where moast everything and everyone goes then and now. lile your sets , and your dont sweat the small stuff way of teaching.

You keep it real... thanks!! 💯

I’m looking for a deer or some kind of hide finished without hair to cover an old chair do you have one or know where I can find one
