I have the next 5 days off and was hoping to set my first traps for coyotes. But it looks like we are getting rain late Wednesday and all day Thursday. What are your thoughts on setting with rain coming? I was planning on using dirt hole sets. This will be my first rookie attempt at setting traps. Thanks for any input!
Put them out but use screen instead of paper to cover the pan. If it's not a Noah's Ark type rain, the sets will be fine and sometimes, especially if it's really cold, you will still have coyotes roaming for food. If it's a super heavy rain, you may have to recover the trap with your sifter and freshen up your lure/bait.
