Slade Garnett I’m getting close to catching a coyote I saw coyote tracks behind my trap in the snow I’m hoping to catch a coyote tonight I refurbish my coyote set this morning I hurried up to get the coyote set done I got the trap steady stabilized and it won’t rock or shift I put my weight on the dirt and trap and I rebaited my canine set

Looks good but I beg to differ on two points: trap speed and scent cover. Neither are necessary. A slower trap sneaks out of the ground instead of blowing dirt into the targets face (which typically results in toe catches) and nothing you do to cover scent will beat a canines nose, so I don't worry about it.

Agree 100%. My all time favorite trap is a #1.75 victor high locking. Laminated and baseplated it'll hold any coyote out there if you check them right and doesn't mess up fox or cats to bad

I'm trying to get motivated to trap coyote. I've taken the trappers course. I'd love to try this. This was great info.

You should certainly give it a shot! Don't get discouraged if you're unsuccessful initially as they can be tough critters to catch.

I kno of some people that have tried this trick… ended up knot even woeking, for what reason idk. But I thought it was funny. Lol well that’s for here in Utah anyway. I’d stick with the punch, for a dirty hole set. 👍🏾 nice video. Thanks for sharing.

Yup just gotta go with what you're confident in!

I’m writing from my wife’s account. I see that your video depicts your trap jaws are positioned assuming the coyote will come to the set from the side and not from the front, where the pipe is on an angle, when actually, because of the position of your pipe, the animal will more likely approach from the front. The way you have your jaws set, there is a chance that when the jaws close they will throw the coyote’s leg upward causing it’s leg to be thrown out of the trap or only having a toe hold, or you’ll lose the animal completely. This is often the case with lynx or bobcats because they are super quick (old saying ‘quick as cat’). Also, why not put a thin plastic tarp down under your legs to prevent the coyote or fox from picking up your scent off the ground especially when there is cold weather or snow that will hold the scent longer and lower to the ground. Cats have lousy noses and it isn’t necessary for them, but bad habits can lead to empty sprung traps and create trap wise animals as all these species are likely to approach your set. Gregg Shannon

Nicely done video, and I wish you the best of luck. but this is not the pipe dream set. I believe the pipe dream thread is up to something like 40 pages on Tman, that should get a person started in the right direction. Or Zaggers got a pretty good article or two on his website that explains the bedding method very clearly. He’s also got class’s in the spring and fall that would be very educational.

I have used this in the past with a lot of success... In my area it rains a lot and this helps keep the lure or bait dry. And up out of the snow when it snows... Although I do have to knock the snow off the top after the snow lays...

I trap coyotes to help other wildlife but in my opinion the only benefit of coyotes is keeping the ferel cat population down. Cats reek havoc on wildlife and need to be managed!

I've have always waxed traps. More because I felt it kept the traps from rusting away. I have replaced mud packed traps and reboiled and rewaxed the same season. I have a friend who never waxes, he claims it's to dangerous. But he has no pan tention to speak of. I use the pipe set mostly on coon. Buddy it's a coon killer also.

They can only pull out with baby sized traps like you said you used to use back before millenials invented trapping. Jack riley you must be jealous of all these trappers with your negative comments because other people have different methods doesnt mean theyre wrong.

Assuming the critter is going to approach the set from the front, as intended, the trap is oriented 90 degrees off. Waxed sand?? 3 lb hammer?? #4 traps?? Must be a Catskill method??

@Whitetail_Properties

Animal could approach from left, right or straight ahead. Trap was set with that in mind. The waxed dirt is very helpful in freezing/thawing conditions. It prevents the dirt from freezing and seizing up the trap. The 3lb hammer is helpful in getting the earth anchor through the frozen ground.

DeerHunter Unfortunately, yes. That is part of trapping. Cats, Dogs and other non-target species can always find their way into the sets. With pets, we always just hope they were caught high enough up the leg that it doesn't break it. And, generally speaking, pets, are a lot less aggressive than say a caught bobcat or coyote. So, once they get caught they will just lay down and wait, as opposed to wild animals trying to fight it to get out and causing more damage to themselves.

How come you didn't set your anchor? I always set mine to make sure it will hold and for the two leg thefts can't get it out with out tools

@Whitetail_Properties

You really can’t.. with deer, they will set off the trap but pull out 100% of the time with no damage. There is not enough lbs of pressure on the traps to Hold any size deer. With dogs depending on the size it could hold them. There’s really no way to stop them from potentially finding them and getting caught. That’s why most states have laws in place to check the traps every 24 hours.
