I looked through my photo bucket and guess I deleted all my set pics. I can post some water set pics tomorrow if anyone is interested in them.

Yeah, I'd like to see them too. I've never done any water trapping.

I get dirt hole sets. I have a couple questions about some of the others. How do you know where to place the pan on a flat set or urine post set? Also, do you use coyote urine for coyotes and fox for fox on this type set or would you probably catch a coyote on fox urine post? Is it harder to catch on these sets or is there some way to be confident which direction theyre going to work them from and where their foot will be?

And I thought step downs were like dirt holes but just kind of in a small trench. Thanks.

I run a lot of flat sets, but don't have any pics right now. I find a tuft of grass or rock/stick for a little backing and smear a little lure on it. Also you can punch in holes around your trap with your driver and put different lure/bait/urines at a set. I can't remember who posted that up last year, but it has been a productive set for me.

It's called a compass set Matt! I love them. I've had really good luck catching fox with it.

we use red fox urine and it catches both fox and coyote.

as far as making the sets, i look at the area where tracks or poop are present. if there is a stick or small log with a branch on it, that's a good place for a urine set. about 7 inches from the stick or branch, set the trap. offset it a couple of inches. squirt a little urine on the stick or branch and then apply a small dab of gland lure. just think about a dog walking down the road and wanting to mark his territory. just picture the coyote walking by the stick or branch and hiking his leg. think like the canine, especially think about it's height. if your area doesn't have sticks or a funky log with a branch, you can make a post set in a corn field or cotton field using the stalks. if you have a small bush, just use nippers and remove the limbs, leaving a post and go from there.

yes, in my post above, that wasn't a step down. that was on the same road i had a trench set (step down) where we caught a couple of coyotes and a bobcat but i guess i didn't save the picture of the set.

flat set - if it's a known travel area, especially a funneled area, just place the trap in the travel path. if it has something natural in the area like a tuft of grass or fallen limb, rock, what-have-ya, all the better. those items will provide the backing you need to keep the critter from entering the set at the wrong angle. you don't want them to come sniffing the lure from behind the grass patch or limb or rock or other. you want them to enter from the trap side so you use those items as your backing and place the trap in front and offset a couple or three inches. picture the coyote be-bopping down the road and whoa! he catches a scent. he mosies over to check it out and as he walks up to it, whap! the trap gets his foot. remember, coyote aren't real big so think about how far apart their legs are and picture them walking up to the set. we don't place the traps any farther than 9 inches from the sets. when you finish, blend in the trap area real well. i like to pull grass from the grass tufts and rub it between my gloves and let if fall naturally over the trap set. crushed up leaves if in a forested area. use your surroundings to make it look as natural as possible. flat sets aren't like dirt hole sets where you don't have to be as careful with presentation.

don't give up, it took me getting a professional to show us the correct way to make the sets but it was money well spent.

Sorry guys! Been super busy running the last 2 days. Gotta set another lake for beaver and otter tomorrow and I'll have the camera lady (aka MsN40r) with me so I'll have her take pics.

I finally had time to reset some traps. The first 2 are remakes from coyote catches a few weeks ago, I made them into compass sets. The last is another compass set in the edge of a pasture, I left some dirt around to look like a critter scratched off after it left a turd.

Those look great Matt! Nothing there for them to get nervous about.

One thing about the compass set is it has no visual attraction so you really need to be on the X with it. You already know you're location is good on two of these sets as they are remakes from earlier catches. I use them a good bit as an extra set in high traffic areas also. A coyote bouncing around in trap will always draw attention and a subtle set like the compass will sometimes pick up leery onlookers.

Dirtholes attract nosey calves a lot for me, so I try to keep it toned down and set on sign, field edges or terrain features. Yekrut and little man are going to check with me tomorrw do hapefully we will have something. I got 5 coyote sets and 8 DPs put out so we shall see.

Looks good. Blended in well. I'm gonna try a compass set or 2. Thanks.

I've had cows mess up sets before and figured they were checking out the smell. I didn't realize it was a visual thing to them.

Urine will make deer investigate sets so I wonder if maybe that's what is drawing the calves to it also.

I use the same urine and lures at both and they always find my dirtholes lol. I just figure they are being nosey and playing in the fresh dirt.

Second to last picture with dozer tracks.

Will a coyote come to that set? Looks like the set elevation is about 2 feet below the tracks. I didn't think the coyote liked to be to where he couldn't see?

God Bless,
