Well, I'm learning. You CAN alter a coyotes cadence or stride on a trail and make them step right on the pan of the trap in a blind set!! I went approx. 4' both sides of the trap, and using small sticks laid across the trail in the right interval, and was able to put him right on the pan.



Totally fooled him….


If you look on the left side of the picture above his right ear, you can see the first of subtle guide sticks coming to the trap. I reset the trap he was in at the catch circle. Made a post set out of the mess he made. Went right to the far the side of that stick, and made another blind set on the trail. We will see how Ma Nature treats us tomorrow. It may be a lost cause depending on whether we get rain, Ice, snow or all of the above……...
