TRAPPING 2015 -2016 season

[tex4k]

I need advice.

I just checked my traps. I am using flat traps with dog droppings and coyote mating scent. This has been working. Two of the traps have fresh from last night coyote droppings 6 and 10 feet away from them. Do I leave my set alone? Do I put a set on the coyote droppings? Do I move the coyote droppings to my set? Or do I do something else?

You need to do something else. Just what it is I can't really say, I'm not there to be able to "assess the situation". I think you got their attention, then triggered the territorial response but haven't focused their attention to your set. With them marking that far away I'm guessing that something your doing at the set has them boogered, too much lure, too much backing, something along those lines. Try making a urine post set right next to the new souvenir they left you or you can go all out. take your dog out to the set, let it walk around the set area marking everything that smells good, take a piece of plywood to lay over the trap to keep from catching the dog. Or if you can find the trail they're using make a blind set.

Might want to add a gland lure to your set

Boar coon in a Bridger dp. Baited with dry cat food and fish oil for a trailing scent.
Not fur trapping, but to help the turkeys.

First coyote set of the morning, just how I found it. He didn't get the bait.

Rabbit caught in this one. Coyote got the rabbit. There is also house cat tracks at the set.

Deer caught and pulled out in this one. Urine smell I guess.

This one is from mid December. First one and my only one so far.

Trapped some coons Thursday night in some DP traps, using corn as bait at the protein stations.

Something I learned this morning, don't tie off your dp to a log that the hogs like to scratch on. They will knock your trap over and scatter the bait.

I killed two sows in the last two days and I have them about 200 yards apart, along a road. I have 2 coyote sets between the carcasses, one set on the edge of the road and one in the center. Lure at the sets only so the buzzards won't get caught.
I just put the second trap in this morning where I should have yesterday. There were coyote tracks on the road where I dragged the first hog. They didn't visit the one I put in yesterday closer to the first sow.
