I was doing good on coyotes and cats with 3 to 4 inch around dirt holes. But after January it started slowing down. I know it was breeding time and the rain. I went to more flat sets and pipe type sets. T bone's and 1 inch pvc pipes. And i took a deer leg bone. Wired a pogo stake on one end. I dug small hole and hammer that stake in. Then put the bone in the hole. Cover dirt around it. Leaving a ittle sticking out. I shoved a stick on 2 sides for blocking. Other 2 sides i beded 2 #2's. About 9 or 10 inchs out from bone. Used a little gland lure and pee. It works ! I fount a cow leg bone. I done it the same type set with it. It had a hole on one side. I dropped bait in the hole. And gland lure on one side and pee the other. Just put that set out. Flat sets and pipe sets is what i went to with all the rain. Using little peat moss inside the jaws . Put little lite cover of dirt on top of that. And cover that with grass clipping. Also snaring some coyotes on old trails. Best set up for me are 5/8 inch kill poles. Easy to hammer one in and go. If i am setting deer trails. I use jump sticks for deer. Wire them in place. I tie my snare high on trees. And using non relaxing one piece lock. And getting my snare to dispatch my animals. I am only doing this on the hunting club. On 5000 acres behind lock gates.

I too do nuisance control trapping!! Doing beaver and otter job. In a big stocked catfish pond.
Dont take that long too run them. I work 12 hr shifts. Wednesday i didn't get into bed until 1:30 pm. And got up at 3:00 pm. During trapping season. I do good to get 3 or 4 hrs of sleep a day.

So if saw one on a trail cam a couple days ago, and it’s tail didn’t look very thick, odds are it has a good case of mange?
If its on its shoulders. It could be rubbing. U can tell usally if its mange. Here's one u can tell for sure.

25% of the coyotes we caught this year had the mange.
I caught 5 more. All had mange. That put me up to 51 coyotes off the club. 40 last fall. 11 so far this season. Still seeing coyote sign. Never thought i could catch that many off one area.
