- In this video we look at missed animals at trap sets. Animals that have pulled out of set traps. And Animals that have dug burried traps out of the ground.
We go into detail as to why this happens? As well as solutions to try to combat the problems.

Great one Dale! I've had my share of everything you just covered in my days. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Good video. Good info for beginners and also makes someone who’s caught several think about what they’re doing and why. Never stop learning, be patient and become successful.
Thank you Darrin. I appreciate you watching too
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge, Dale.
Well Billy thank you for your time to watch these videos. I really appreciate it
Damn where you been?
National Furtakers rendezvous in Jefferson Wisconsin Christopher. I'll get back to shooting tomorrow
@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 Thank goodness. Was concerned, thought something happened to you. God bless my friend
I appreciate you pal. No I just didn't get a chance to video anything there. But I'll get back at it tomorrow. Thank you
Absolutely excellent video. Agree with everything you’ve said here. Had a pull out this morning. Might mention had some blood on the jaws as well. Dead giveaway of a pull out
Thank you Ryan. I appreciate you watching too
Great video, hope the youngsters are listening, thanks for sharing sir
I appreciate you watching Patrick. Thank you
Thanks dale . I need help combating bait/sheepwool pullouts from dirtholes
Try digging them deeper Jess or Maybe using less sheep wool so they have a harder time getting a hold of it
Ore good information Dale. Thanks
I appreciate you watching Sonny. Thank you
Outstanding stuff, Dale!
Thank you Mac. I sincerely mean that
Early in the video you showed the trap a long way back from the hole. Why was that?
I personally like to set farther back from the hole for coyote and especially cats Just Me and here's why. Cats a lot of times naturally hang back. And if he decides to work that hole, I don't want to miss him. Simply because you might only have one shot at the cat. And for coyote it's just simply because I've had better luck by setting back anywhere between 12-16 inches back from the hole. Some guys set way up close I like to set back farther. A lot depends on the angle of the hole and depth of the trench as to the distance you need to be. I know I've done a video on that subject before too. If you go into my playlist in coyote trapping it's in there.
Do you always set that far back on all set types? Or just trench?
Just the trench type sets.
@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 Do you have a video on how or if predators get out during situations like I have now…….(and upcomings) extreme cold around 0 degrees and several inches of snow? Seems like I’ve seen activity slow way down lately and no tracks in the snow except deer.
@justme4172 no I'm sorry I don't have any snow videos. I go south to trap anymore. And like right now I don't have any snow here anyway
Great Video Dale,, spot on , first step / Last Step,, if it moves a millimeter,, bye bye,, GOD BLESS BROTHA
Thats right Kevin. Thank you so much for watching this video. I appreciate you
Great video Mr Dale. Id love to see a more in depth video on Gang setting a location. Just say a big intersection of roads or something where you need/want to put 6 or 8 sets in. What sets and what baits/lures and why. Ive gone against using the same bait/lure multiple sets ON this one location but that may not even be right. Hopefully you understand what I'm asking. Whatever you come up with next ill be watching. Thank you sir
I'll do that KC. Let me get home from the Furtakers rendezvous and I'll get back to making videos
@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 looking forward to seeing it. Thanks
No problem KC
Maybe talk about if there’s any strategy or anything necessary to know about bait and lure usage, placement, do’s and don’t’s. Different predator types with certain baits n lures? Etc etc. Thanks!!
I can do that Just. I appreciate you watching. Thank you
100% right,Dale
Thank you Metrapper. And thanks for watching as well
Good content Dale, how about setting old den holes would you set them or not. If so would you bait and set them like a big hole? Thanks
Thank you Edgar. Yea I can do a video on that. Thank you for watching too.
To answer your questions Edgar yes I would set those old holes just like a big hole set
Another great explanation Dale, thanks. I have a nasty smart Red Fox I'm dealing with right now. Sucker came in a few nights ago and killed 26 chickens and a duck. I've been mafia setting a few of the carcasses and have had action every night. First night it dug me out, grabbed the bird and left. Last night it stepped between pans at 2 locations and made off with the carcasses. I know it will be back as long as there are birds to be eaten, but I'm at a loss. I don't trap a lot of fox here in Montana, so not real familiar with their quirks. Any advice would be appreciated.
Maybe try a little more guiding Johnny. Also not sure what you're using for pan covers but wire screen will increase the pan area. By doing that no matter where he steps between the jaws, he's yours. Hope this helps ya some . I appreciate you watching
@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 thank you
In my younger days I placed my trap at the lip of the dirt hole, and had better success than I have with step down and offset placement. Please advise, Thanks
If that's what's working for you Mark then that s what you want to do. For coyotes and cats I've had better luck back farther and making them step down. For red I wouldn't be back near as far. I'd be somewhere in the 12-16 inches pan center instead of 16-20 inches like this video. But with that I've caught several reds back that far also. I appreciate you watching these videos Mark. Thank you
Not sure if I just haven’t seen it yet or maybe you haven’t discussed it. Do you add chain, swivels, shock springs, anything to your foot holds? Does it depend on your target animal? Thank you sir.
Alot depends on the target Josh. I'll do a video yet this week discussing this. Thank you for watching
Much appreciated. Thank you again.
@joshslattery6687 you're welcome
Awesome job as usuall
Thank you Don
👍👍
Thank you for watching Mr. Melvin
Hi mr Billingsley if you have a pull out, will the coyote or fox come back?
Maybe not to that exact set Lone Wolf but to another one in the vicinity yes. Chances are if he comes back to that set it'll be to dig it up
Thank you sir. Your videos are very informative.
How can you tell if its a bedding problem or they smelled steel? I dont know if there is a way to tell, but maybe you have an idea how. Ive had a few traps dug up but I'm pretty asinine on bedding my traps. I know Yotes can smell steel or your scent on traps. Was just wondering and THANKS again for GREAT VIDEOS!!!
So anymore hoyt I'm not so sure here in the midwest that I buy into the whole being scared of steel smell. Just because they come in contact with it all the time. I mean they've pissed on every piece of old machinery and steel post between here and Des Moines. I tend to think anymore it's a contamination or bedding problem. Those are just my thoughts. Until I get a coyote to answer all my questions I have well just have to speculate. Thank you for watching
That was pretty cool Dale! Always great info! Thank you for sharing my friend!
Thank you Mark. Thank you for watching too
Hi sir. I had a red fox pull out of my trap. There were only 3 toes in my trap. Will he come back to my sets?
If you took his toes off probably not to those sets. You're going to have to change it up some. Thank you for watching Slippery Ace
Yes sir! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
You're welcome Slippery Ace
Is that a Bridger #3? I was thinking about putting laminated jaws on the inside of my #3s so they are still pa legal 6.5 inches. Good idea or not?
Heck yea it is PA! And it's a fantastic idea! Man thank you for watching.
You nailed it . I had coon do what you said and I changed from a square jaw to a round jaw and got the coon that was doing it. Somethings one gets overlooked. You did hit the main points on it . Make sure the trap is set the way you said and beded soild. Thanks . Do you set blind for otter? If so , what you look for when you do ?
Thanks Paul. Yes I blind set for otter. I'll get a video up in a few days about otter. ok? Thank you for watching
@@billingsleybrandtrappinglu1531 ok thanks , Like to see if you do blind sets like I do because that is how I get my . and the ting I notice that where to catch a male or female in that type of set you will have high chance to catch the same sex the next time .
Will you be in Indiana this year 2024?
No I don't think so as of right now anyway Just Me
Another really good video Dale , I wonder if you did a video on trap prep for predators , that may really help the new guys starting out. Thanks buddy
I'll try to do 1 when I get home from the Furtakers convention next week Mike. Thank you for watching.
Id say you are running out of stuff to put on here! But keepem comen man! Dam good stuff
I'll do what I can Chase. Thanks for watching
This helped me out, I've had issues trying to figure out why and what happened to some snapped but empty traps.
@mikewhitman745 I'm glad it helped you Mike. I appreciate you watching. Thank you
Was patiently waiting. Haha
It's coming Christopher 😆. Internet is slow here tonight
I had 2 pullouts..I think I had the pan tension too light and caught them on the paw instead of having enough tension that he was standing completely on it to get a couple inches up above the foot..make sense??im going to try a few new things you taught me
3-3 1/2 lbs of pan tension E. C . That makes for a good deep catch
Thanks for this one Dale. I had a coyote step all over my set this morning and hit everything but my pan lol. I’ll improve my guiding. Keep up the good work buddy
Thanks Derrick. Yea just work on the guiding a bit id say and you should have him. I appreciate you watching too
Had 1 dig up last season and it was because i was in a hurry to get that set out and back to the truck 1/2 mile away because daylight was fading fast and i left my headlight in the truck like an idiot. Get in a hurry and mistakes get made.
Thats a true fact Mike. Thank you for watching
