- In this video you'll see me setting 2 traps in a food plot. These 2 sets are completely different from each other and are very affective sets. I hope you enjoy the video!!!
I just got my first bobcat in a flat set that I learned from you to use cool thing to catch when I have only been trapping for 2 years and I’m 12
That’s awesome! Congrats! It’s always a special day when you catch a bobcat!
Might use a little pillow filling (white fluff) under pan. Makes the night latch travel easy. Maybe double check your pan tension. If targeting yotes, a gray should be able to stand on it without firing. If you want all canines, loosen it up a bit. Peat moss is good beneath and above trap if it’s moist/rainy or you are dealing with freeze/thaw conditions. If it’s not freezing, might just get away with pillow stuffing under pan and regular dirt. Looked good though. Appreciate your humility. Us trappers are always learning from our target species and other trappers. Thanks to your dad and granddad for passing the outdoors on to you. And thank you for paying it forward. 👍
All i use is peat moss. even in cold weather i just dust the bottom of the hole before placing the trap. then a handful inside the jaws. I've actually uncovered traps after a inch of rain and the top layer will lock out the water. awesome stuff
I’m going to use peat for the first time this weekend. It’s been dry but well below zero. In the past I’ve just used wax dirt but I don’t have any. Do you have any advise or tricks on bedding solid in the peat??
@@gmill2316 if freezing I put a light coat under the trap and use a bowl shap bed so the trap almost beds itself. The fill the inside of jaws not much dirt on top grass if you can like a blended set.
I was the first person that I know of to use peat moss. This was back in 1983. Put a layer down and bed the trap in it then just lightly cover the trap and blend it in,works like a charm.
I put a coffee filter or a plastic sandwich bag over my trap that’s worked every time for me.
I think you should go back to pollyfill buddy! That's a really great camera that doesn't scare them and you can request the photos! Cant wait to see what happens! The sets look awesome! Good luck with everything my friend!
I love watching your vids year after year man.
Thank you!!
that works also do it up against a log , irresistible
I use underalls under the pan and peat moss depending on the weather. I like setting my trench sets this way bc it keeps the trench tighter...it may not make the biggest difference but it works for me. Keep the great content coming.
Thank you for setting your trap this way...
Put a small clod on each lever and Bingo you got it!
I make my own underalls (under pan) out of attic insulation rolls. I cut it first into strips as wide as my pan. Then I cut them to fit length of pan. Each cut out will give you 4-6 pan underalls. Fast, cheap and works great. Then I fill jaws with peat, thin layer of salt then just dry dirt.
I also use dried river sand in bottom of bed to bed the trap in first.
New to trapping and here to learn all I can. I'll be setting some sets out today and hope have some luck
Good luck!!!
Straight peat cost me a lot of animals from increasing pan tension too much. I went to pull traps and could literally jump on them without being able to set them off. I went to poly under the pan and peat in the jaws. Have been happy with that set up
If you’re using earth anchors there’s no need for the shock springs. People give coyotes too much credit, they’re not that strong. I only use springs when using a single stake. And running your trap turned 90 degrees like that is the only way to go. Better catches every time. peat moss is fantastic, doesn’t increase pan tension at all.. I’ve used it for years. I’ve had trouble putting stuff under the pan like insulation or anything like that.
Shock springs help hold toe-caught animals.
Looks great! I might have Christopher try the mini 3 hole set. Good idea!
come over to vanceboro and show me how to trap. i got a few coyotes running around my property. im gonna learn from your videos hopefully
Pipe insulation cut into squares is a good way to keep dirt from getting under your pan and has the give for when they step on it
Lookin good 👍Goodluck Out There BeSafe
Keep up the good work love your
Really enjoying these videos.
Thank you!!
Both are great sets buddy!
Thats how i do my step downs, i dont want the trench no wider than my trap, and i use strictly peat moss….this set has caught me plenty of fur of the years, as soon as they step into the trench you want their foot on the trap dont give them any wiggle room
great video...thank you
Yup,good one.
Great content once again!
I have watched you for a few years now and really want to try and catch some coyotes on my hunting property next fall.
I watch trapper J as well. He has his own lure out called “oh f#ck” and seems to have success with it.
Good luck to you. Looking forward to the results of these 2 sets.
Trapper cap would help stop the dirt from getting under the pan
Just got back into beaver trapping and thinking about getting into coyote trapping. Was wondering about the live trap regulation in NC
The tighter the trench around your trap the better
Make your bait hole more horizontal that way they have to work it from the proper side
I noticed you touched the scent /bait sticks with a bare hand, won t the coyote smell your scent? New to trapping.
I’m not going to say that they don’t, but I’ve never had an issue with it.
Right on. I think the set looks awesome. Good enough. Hope you get some good catches soon!
Thank you!!
$20 lesson on anchors learned. Lost a duke 550 last night. Must've been a big male because he pulled the entire anchor out!! Gonna go to a different type. What type of anchors are you running?
I use the fox hollow earth anchors with chain. I have NEVER had an earth anchor pulled out of the ground. I’m some hard red clay areas I’ll only drive the anchor in about 6-8 inches and they still hold. What type are you running currently?
@@CarolinaCoyote it's an off brand Chinese made cable anchor. Works just like a fox hollow but they just will not catch. Drive em in 24 inches and I can pull them right back out if I pull slow. Give it a hard yank and it will set. I doubled up on my remakes...drove two anchors at 45 degrees so that the ends wind up together then a quick link ties them both to the trap chain
@DarJenoutdoors yeah that sounds like a pain. The fox hollow anchors are what me and a majority of the trappers that I know use. I’ve never had a problem with them, other than getting them out of hard clay sometimes lol
@@CarolinaCoyote I'll comment a picture of my anchor on your Facebook
@DarJenoutdoors perfect
Use a screen I buy it in a 4 foot by 100 foot rolls Last me 3 years with 200 traps out on my line
Where do you get it? Cost ?
Trust me that the best way to bed trap.I do it shock spring are a pain
That’s good to know! They are a pain to deal with I agree
💪👊👍
Why no rubber gloves for scent
No polyfil?
I am the one who ask you to turn your trip so they can step between the jars and not over it
If you catch a Coyote in your foodplot will it Run the deer off ? I'm thinking about putting a trap next to a deer trail i just don't want to run the deer off
The deer are used to being around them all the time. I’ve had a coyote in a trap 50yards away from deer eating corn plenty of times
@@CarolinaCoyote OK thank you
I caught a badger a skunk a fox this year
That’s awesome!
It is easier to set traps and dry dirt than it is in mud, isn't it?
Absolutely
Should I check trap every day if u don't have a camera this my 2st year trying for coyote I trap mink and beaver mostly that's easy,is coyote bait anuff is that what iam going wrong just useing bait please help me new at coyote training
Check your state regulations. You have to check traps every 24hr in NC. I always use a bait and lure at my coyote sets
What is the purpose of the peat moss and the wax dirt?
Peat moss keeps dirt from getting under the pan. If dirt gets under the pan, the trap won’t go off. The wax dirt keeps the trap from freezing. If the trap is froze to the ground, the trap will not go off.
How many traps should you run on 34 acres? That’s a video I haven’t seen. I’ll hopefully do a video of my land and how I have trapped.
There’s a lot of factors here. How many traps can you afford to buy? How much free time do you have to check them every day? How many good locations are there to set traps on?
In my opinion, the more the better. Your odds of catching are higher with 20 traps than they are with only 6. I’ve started setting AT LEAST 2 traps at every location. Making the sets look different. That way if they don’t commit to one, they may commit to another.
I would set as many as you have time to handle. 5 traps set on perfect location will always be better than 20 traps just randomly scattered. Hope this helps answer your question!
I haven't watched many of your vids (this is the first), but if you have 20 sets on 34 acres, I suggest that you use a large variety of scents (baits & lures) the same stuff on several sets in a small area may not pique the interest of a coyote. If he wasn't interested in something, he won't be interested in it 100 yards later. 😉
I couldn’t agree with you more!!
@@CarolinaCoyote yes it does. I finally gotten my first lease. 460 acres and 80 acres. Lol so now I just need to learn how to make better videos and edit them. My profile picture is buck I killed on my 34 acres. So excited Lucas oil cattle company is allowing me to trap.
@@tudyk21 yea I been trying new lures and baits. I need to get back on making videos since I mainly run a poultry farm and wife does elderberry’s.
You only want your trench trap with
I don't us peat latex pan cover
Be nice to see what your bait looks like as you put ut in your set up? Us newer trappers need the extra help...😮
You got it!!!
@@CarolinaCoyote That'll be awesome! Sorry I'm just learning. I've ordered some bait and scents ect... I've read a ton, watched a pile of videos and just hadn't seen anybody show how much of the bate, lure and scents that they put out. Ty
@sgg8970 use enough bait to cover a nickel. For lure, use enough to cover half of a dime.
@@CarolinaCoyote Thank you a ton. I sure will! 🙂👍
Like the trench set gonna definitely use it in the future, I’ve been busy as with working ect so looking forward to catching up on everything I’ve miss while I’ve been away!
Glad to have ya back!! Hope you enjoy the videos!
@@CarolinaCoyote yeh for sure your one of my favourite trappings channels love the videos and your super to follow with your how to’s learning something new every time you post a video
