Myself, I set about 9" back from the attractor and offset about 3" to one side, which side depends on the most logical approach direction. Study those tracks in the dirt, try to decipher where the coyote came from, where it stopped to look things over, and what side it approached the from. I've noticed that the more unnatural anything around the set looks, the more paranoid coyotes are, even if they don't suspect much they'll circle a set a time or two, if to much looks out of place they'll just go on by, so you did enough to get them to investigate, I believe you just need to get the pan in his approach lane. Now Fergeris he's caught enough of them they hang around his sets because they think they smell one of their cousins. Hey Eric

I'm excited to get into trapping. Our lease has lots of coyotes and bobcats, and of course coons. I've bought a dozen snares and half dozen traps with some lure and scent bait, already have 4 dogproofs for coons. Next weekend is 4 day weekend for me and I'm going to take my grandson and see what we can get trapped. We can both learn at the same time. Good times! (if my wife doesn't kill me for ordering all this stuff - naw, I'll blame it on the grandson!)
