Ok, for coyotes I would set snares (if legal) in paths, under fences (if legal) and around bait sets (also if legal). I use just homemade 3/32 snares. Now for bait I have used birds, almost any meat scraps will work. Also another very effective way to catch yotes is a dirt hole. I have caught several dozen yotes in dirt holes. Go to were I talked about dirt holes on the post "Fur Info Needed" that will tell you everything you need to know about dirt holes. Also I use a Duke 1 3/4, it will catch and hold everything from mink to the toughest coyotes, I don't care what they tell you it will work you may need to laminate the jaws and center swivel them but thats very little work.


For Cats, you can catch the cats easy if you know where they are. I like to use a simple path set with a 1 3/4, I just bed the trap down in the ground sift over it and put step sticks 4-5 in. from the center of the pan on each side and he will step over them sticks every time! You also could put some Dobbins purrrfect out on a one of the sticks you put out for the stepsticks.

If you need any other help just pm me.
