Congrats Barry! Whole corn is about the only thing to use when it's this hot and dry. Anything else the ants just seem to envelope within minutes.

Same thing with coyote sets. A dab of lure on a pinch of wool with urine on the backer.

Animals don't like this weather anymore than we do and don't travel as much unless pushed for food or water. It's very easy to get discouraged trapping in these conditions.
