Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
My dad says that you need to till the ground up. I guess coyotes love fresh earth cant keep their feet out of it. Not for sure but I think he used fish as an attractant, and burried his trap in a fine layer of dirt.
I like lures heavy on skunk as a call lure, Pros Choice and GH-II are my favorites. I use this lure somewhere close to my set but up off the ground. Gets them to come to the area. Place a little on a tree branch or fence post that they can't get to. I'm in SD and I have had a lot of trouble with coyotes wanting to roll in the call type lures when I put them on the ground or actually at the set.
I don't use a lot of dirtholes but when I do I use Powder River Past Bait in the hole.
I mostly use flat sets. Use coyote droppings that I pick up, gland lure and urine. Also use Voo-Doo, Canine Special, Yodel Dog, and Gusto.
All available through the Minnesota trapline link listed above.
