today is the 6th day that the traps have been set. caught 2 coyote and have 3 traps still operable. this is the results of the run this morning (i have also included the pictures from making the set):
trap on coyote road was sprung with nothing to show except raccoon tracks
dirt hole set at beaver pond. driving in berkshire cable stake with 3/8" "sharpened" rebar
bedding trap
covering with pre-sifted peat moss
looking good
clearing hole to apply attractant
what i found this morning
at this poing 4 out of 5 traps need resetting.
the next setup is on a grassy section of logging road behind a green field. it was a trench set (if memory serves). here the trap is already staked, bedded and topped with peat moss
making the hole for lure
widening hole so it looks like a critter might live in there
