Not sure how you are setting them up but here is a cheap and easy way to set them up someone showed us. 3/32 cable and some electric fence wire crimps. You just put it around a tree and put the trap through the loop and it’s ready to go.

Its not really to terribly difficult.....There's a trapping store down in Ramer that has everything you need.....The MB-550's are the ones I used baited with Cavens Hiawatha Valley in a simple dirt hole set around field edges or road junctions......Just make sure to take the time to bed the trap well so it doesnt move Last edited by CNC; 02/07/25 01:32 PM.

Problem is that you need the right gear (trapping hammer, sifter, lure, traps, anchors, etc.) I think I remember seeing some starter sets on some trapping supply websites. Get an auger bit that fits a cordless drill to make the dirt holes. Watch a video on how to night latch your traps and do that. K9 Extremes are already coated and don't need boiling and waxing. Plenty of online videos on making dirt hole sets. Look for road intersections with coyote tracks and set on these types of locations. CNC hit the nail on the head for coyote traps - learn how to bed the trap solid so that it does not rock if the edge is stepped on. I found my coyote catch rate went up when I put a a good spoonful of Pedigree dog food in the bottom of the dirt hole (not the chunky gravy type but the potted meat looking type) and the bait and lure on top of that. It is addicting. Good luck. I will be glad to come down in early April and go around very early in the morning and help you check the traps. Don't give up, don't ever give up!

Going to set some DP's and a couple of hog traps for Thursday night and then pull them Friday with rain coming Saturday around 2:00 am. Property owner is going to try and be there tomorrow so I'll see what he's got.
