^^ i figured i could just pour water on the traps when i close them and that should get rid of most of the scent right?
Not exacly.The debate on scent control for coyotes is never ending.But youll be seting the traps, and popping them again every two days.
You dont just leave scent on the trap, you leave it on everyhing you touch.The ground you walk and kneel on, the plants and brush you walk through, etc...And youll be doing this repeatedly to set and unset the traps, thats a lotta scent dispersal through the area.
Im not trying to discourage you from trapping coyotes, dont get me wrong, but it seems to me your going to find it very frustrating trying to trap them on that schedule.If you do plan on trying for them I would suggest you goto somewhere like trapperman.com and read up on the scent conrol methods used by the guys over there, this forums good but they have an entire archive of great information on the subject over there and its well worth the reading.
Good luck
