Pipe Dream Set for Coyotes | Coyote Trapping 

Zag is a great guy, he takes the time to talk to anyone and treats you good. Not 1 of those stuck up guys.

I’m writing from my wife’s account. I see that your video depicts your trap jaws are positioned assuming the coyote will come to the set from the side and not from the front, where the pipe is on an angle, when actually, because of the position of your pipe, the animal will more likely approach from the front. The way you have your jaws set, there is a chance that when the jaws close they will throw the coyote’s leg upward causing it’s leg to be thrown out of the trap or only having a toe hold, or you’ll lose the animal completely. This is often the case with lynx or bobcats because they are super quick (old saying ‘quick as cat’). Also, why not put a thin plastic tarp down under your legs to prevent the coyote or fox from picking up your scent off the ground especially when there is cold weather or snow that will hold the scent longer and lower to the ground. Cats have lousy noses and it isn’t necessary for them, but bad habits can lead to empty sprung traps and create trap wise animals as all these species are likely to approach your set. Gregg Shannon

With all that poking around in the trap I was waiting for a "SNAAAAAP" yeeeeooowwww!!!

As a beginner to coyote trapping this should be a huge help, so thanks

I'm trying to get motivated to trap coyote. I've taken the trappers course. I'd love to try this. This was great info.

Looks good but I beg to differ on two points: trap speed and scent cover. Neither are necessary. A slower trap sneaks out of the ground instead of blowing dirt into the targets face (which typically results in toe catches) and nothing you do to cover scent will beat a canines nose, so I don't worry about it.

I kno of some people that have tried this trick… ended up knot even woeking, for what reason idk. But I thought it was funny. Lol well that’s for here in Utah anyway. I’d stick with the punch, for a dirty hole set. 👍🏾 nice video. Thanks for sharing.

I have used this in the past with a lot of success... In my area it rains a lot and this helps keep the lure or bait dry. And up out of the snow when it snows... Although I do have to knock the snow off the top after the snow lays...

Mark Zagger, he is NYs Finest coyote trapper. Great set

Great job...very thorough instruction!

I trap coyotes to help other wildlife but in my opinion the only benefit of coyotes is keeping the ferel cat population down. Cats reek havoc on wildlife and need to be managed!

Nicely done video, and I wish you the best of luck. but this is not the pipe dream set. I believe the pipe dream thread is up to something like 40 pages on Tman, that should get a person started in the right direction. Or Zaggers got a pretty good article or two on his website that explains the bedding method very clearly. He’s also got class’s in the spring and fall that would be very educational.

Great video!

Have you ever drilled holes in the pipe to allow air to spread the scent

You did a great job, only thing to be aware of is I would be more conscious of NOT setting your lure jar or cap on the dirt by the trap. Thanks for the share

All you showed of the Pipe Dream set is the pipe, lol. The main purpose of the set is its rain/freeze proof capability. No dirt or waxed dirt needed. You bedded the same way you’d bed for a dirt hole set.

Sweet set

a great set to use😅😅😅

3:13 how do you remove the chains when you’re done there, with a shovel or can you pull it out with your hands?

Phenomenal

I've have always waxed traps. More because I felt it kept the traps from rusting away. I have replaced mud packed traps and reboiled and rewaxed the same season. I have a friend who never waxes, he claims it's to dangerous. But he has no pan tention to speak of. I use the pipe set mostly on coon. Buddy it's a coon killer also.

A 2 foot long chain allows a critter to run 4 foot and possibly pull out !

Excelent

You ever catch something unintended, like a neighbor's dog?

Assuming the critter is going to approach the set from the front, as intended, the trap is oriented 90 degrees off. Waxed sand?? 3 lb hammer?? #4 traps?? Must be a Catskill method??

Did u catch one?

Anyone know why I don't see many people on RU-vid trapping in FL?

How do u stop deer from stepping on them? Or someones dog?

I dunno, this guy looks like someone that watched 2 videos on trapping and is now trying to instruct on trapping. I didn’t hear any advanced tips. He pushed on one jaw of the trap and said it was stable, I’ve never seen an experienced trapper so nonchalant about how solid the trap is bedded

Laminate the jaws please... Stock traps make me cringe! The "original" Pipe Dream uses clipped grass, not dirt to cover the trap and a bowl shaped "hole" under the trap. And a few other variations and will not freeze down. Having trapped Upstate New Yorkastan myself, that is a very important step.

How come you didn't set your anchor? I always set mine to make sure it will hold and for the two leg thefts can't get it out with out tools

You are not explaining the trapping mechanism.

try some popcicle sticks then u can ditch the nasty spoon break cicle sticks to lenghthu want keeps from messing with nasty bag saves time and keeps hands clean

I got coyote problems in ohio

after you worked so hard to keep scent away and you go and empty your bucket of everything you've touched barehanded.!!!!

If you trap on public land, are there any flagging laws so that humans don't step on those jaws? I guess our dogs are "collateral damage"?

Have gun will Travel no need to get Dirty.

Why the pip it'would scare them away here in Ohio make no sense

I have been trapping for over 40 years and that doesn't work here in Ohio

Leave 'em the fuk alone, Santa Claus...! 🧐

Pipe bs 🤔

Why not just pee on it and save buying bottled spray pee???

That’s evil and incredibly cruel Using Jaw traps On animals feet!

I disagree with Predator hunting and trapping It’s unnatural!

Not cool, not cool at all.

This is sick! Disgusting, shame on you..

Huntin dog will get right in it.
