In this video you will see how I look for fresh sign and make decisions on where to set traps. I hope you enjoy the video and the catches. Thanks for watching!!!
Great video, awesome quadruple on the raccoon. Those coyote do not like trail cameras do they. Good luck, just a matter of time till a few of them makes a mistake. Keep SHARING your PASSION!
You’ll love this. Started trapping near the house. I had a dvd hanging over one of my sets as an attractant for bobcats and the landowner saw it across the field, walked over to investigate and stepped right in the trap! I caught a damn human being!!!! He said he was mesmerized!!😂😂😂I'm retiring from trapping it gets no better🤣 I'll never trap anything more savy or more intelligent than the world's most intelligent predator... mankind!! I'm done!! Nothing else out there for me
Congratulations on all of your success, great video !! 🤗 I had a tight chain in the snow yesterday, a medium size male coyote. I had bed the trap in peat moss, covered the top with peat moss, then a little dirt. We had some 8 degree nights & 20’s in the day. This trap actually sat for about a week before Mr. Yote made his rounds, and there were several others with him ! I will be setting several sets in this area after the rains are over here in Ohio 🤗
Moved from single digits to mud!!! Already had half inch of rain today but at least things will fire if they get stepped on in the west end of the state!!!
I learned a lot about raccoons early in trapping because that’s what got me started in the trapping world. And when I started, I didn’t catch hardly any haha. Even with 24 dps on a creek bank I’d only catch 1 or 2 per week. It was a quick learning curve. I don’t know who Armon is. But 95% of what I’ve learned from trapping has been from my personal trial and error
Great Video!! What type of set would you recomend for coyote a trench or just a regular dirt hole set or a diiferent one? What is the best set for red foxes as well? Also do you like the tactacam reveal and do they work well?
I’m really not having much luck at all with trench sets for coyotes. They always want to urinate on the trenches and not commit to stepping into the trench. I’ll be sticking with dirt holes, flat sets, and scent post sets for coyotes here on out. However, trench sets are the best sets for red foxes in my opinion. I’ve caught all of my reds this year in trench sets. I love my reveal cell cams. Best cams on the market hands down.
Trench sets work for reds because they’re generally more aggressive and if they like the smells, they’ll keep coming back until they’re caught. If a coyote is pissing on the backing of a trench set and not working the set, the scent(s) are not putting it in the “mood”. Bed a trap on the downwind side of the hole with the jaw about 6” from the edge of the hole. This will catch the “lookers/pissers”. Two very good sets for all canines is my Disco Dirt Hole set and the Miranda Walk-thru Set. IMHO!
I’m sorry, I didn’t explain what I meant by “mood”. From my many years of testing lures and baits I noticed that the more nights the test was going on I could see moods change from early-on digging & rolling to nights later the coyotes swinging in giving a quick sniff and piss and trot off. I determined from the coyote’s body language through the duration of the tests that I was observing “familiarity” which I believe is a “mood”. With tests I know it was the scents and not the test hole(1” hole) but a trench set is very visual so that in itself could be causing the pissing reaction or the scent that they’ve encountered before and found it oh-hum and know it well enough that it doesn’t interest them. Just my observations nothing more.
@kevintrent1757 I honestly think that they seen the silhouette of the stake and camera in the field. Coyotes are already really skiddish animals and adding something new in their environment that is out of the ordinary just wasn’t a good idea on my part. Another lesson learned added to the long, long list lol
