How To Make A Dirt Hole Set | Predator Trapping 

Glad you found the video helpful! We have a playlist dedicated to coyote/predator trapping that you might find helpful as well! Congrats on your first catch!

Good luck!

Probably have some bait scent on the trap. Use different gloves handling trap and bait. Also set all your traps, then add the bait.

Make sure you boil away any oil, then use unscented wax to protect and lube it. Don’t get bait scent on your trap- agree: use gloves for baiting.

Thanks for watching!

Glad you found it helpful!!

Thank you. Check out some of our other trapping videos and we have links to the traps we use in the description!!

He did say. SVS #4

We have not!

Thanks for watching!

Nice!

Typically when they approach a dirt hole they will step centered with their bodies with one foot about 8 inches from the hole so they can smell it.

I believe James got them from Minnesota trapline supply. We have links to the products in the description!

Yes 2x12 - 2x16 will work just fine, depending on how much power your drill has.

It was filmed in early march of last year.

We aren't too worries about scent while trapping, hasn't caused us any issues. Some are, and that is totally fine.

@@Whitetail_Properties Thanks for the reply. Was just wondering as a beginner

@@dannyo.4131 Good deal! We would say location of your traps is the most important thing to focus on. We have a whole playlist for predator trapping that goes into some more details on that.. Best of luck!

You want to catch them by the front leg. Usually 6-8 inches off the hole is about the right distance for the coyote when he puts his nose to the hole to smell it.

We were also trying to find them. Their website said currently unavailable, and nothing had been posted on their facebook page in over a year. They might unfortunately be out of business.

Wildlife control supplies has them I think

Yes wax dirt is what we used in this video. It is kind of time consuming to make, but it is well worth it to keep your traps from freezing up!

Whitetail Properties thank you but I bet it is worth it if you can catch some coyotes

DeerHunter Unfortunately that trip was cut short due to weather for our production team. We got the traps set and had to head out the next day. But, Tom did check the sets after we left and both were successful! The addition of the lambs wool and the wax dirt certainly helped beat the elements. Up next will be how to set a pipe dream set. Which was also a very informative how-to video! Hopefully you found this video useful and thanks for watching!

We hope you found the video helpful!

I believe that the anvil lure Tom is using came from his good buddies over at the management advantage. I'm not sure if they sell it or just make it for personal use. I will try and figure that out!

With any significant moisture that is always a possibility.

That is y u put calcium chloride to prevent freezing

Yes calcium chloride or in this example we were using wax dirt. Which also prevents freezing.

Of course! Lol

I use gloves when it is cold out. Otherwise I will use my bare hands to make a set. But I never bait or lure with gloves on. You can't hide the fact you were there. I typically use at 2 different gland lures to hold the interest. Beaver and bobcat are my favorite. Long range call skunky of course. Every time it rains hard I freshen up the scents. Learning animal behaviors is the key to success and trail cams on your sets helped by far.

We wanted to touch on a bit of everything, in case some of the viewers had little to no experience trapping. Sorry you found some of the info un-useful.

@@Whitetail_Properties I thought it was an awesome video, good work

They are saving a lot of baby deer and baby turkeys, from getting brutally murdered by coyotes , also pet dogs and cats that coyotes will tear apart still alive

@@freethinker5039 not to mention the chickens, calves, and rabbits.

Coffee filters are a great idea! and so is the sand to get some good practice!

Hey I’ll have to try that

We agree, thanks for watching!

i use an offset that way if a small animal gets caught it might be able to get out. or if an animals toe gets caught it can still get out

you really don’t know anything about anything 😂🤣

@@jarrettsewell2170 Do you?

When that coyote catches and eats your cat or little dog you won't say disgusting
