This is the best how to set video I have seen bar none - I'm a beginner in trapping & I'll definitely return to this video for aid in setting my traps ! My favorite yet - thanks for the help !!
Great video! Subscribed. Bought and set 2 Duke 550 os pros at the root end of a turned over stump by a ranch road. Dirt hole baited with squirrel and shad based catfish bait balls with cat collector lure. Hung a turkey feather with a glow-in-the-dark plastic cartoon character I picked up at great nieces b-day party. Caught a coon the 1st night. Rebaited with a tainted dove and bait balls and caught a nice coyote on the third night. Now trapping has a foot hold on me! That cone shaped hole is a great idea. I'll definitely practice that concept where feasible. I really appreciate this tutorial. I'm going over my place in my head and, well, I'm gonna need more traps. 🤠
Great video. I just waxed my first half dozen NO BS Jr. I’m in the process of putting on the cable/stake system you recommended. Can’t wait to get back to my property and try the trowel bedding and stake system.
I am a frist timer and I been not having any luck at all traps been out for two weeks and coyte are every where but no luck anything you can tell me I use top dog bait jet fuel and all kinds of luer
No, I wouldn’t. Just sounds like you had a bit of bad luck. Got a friend that’s pretty much running that for all his sets this year and he’s just stacking bodies left and right.
Just found this video and really liked it. On your triangle set, how far away are the holes compared to the trap pan? And I'm guessing you did guard the dog
The pan sits right in the middle of the attractors (t-bone up "front" and the two punch-holes on either side) and is probably about 6-10 inches from any one of them, but this could vary. It's more of a "feel" thing when I'm making it... I will sometimes use a small twig/stick stuck straight down into the ground beside the dog to discourage stepping there, but not always.
Is the urine post set mainly successful for male coyote? or will you also catch female? it looks to me your targeting the front pad of a male. very green to trapping. i have watched your videos a few times. helps very much. thank you
Mainly you're targeting the territorial instinct. If you ever take a domestic dog (especially a male dog) out for a walk in the neighborhood, he is COMPELLED to pee on everything that "sticks out" of the ordinary -- and if another dog has already been there and peed on it, you can bet he'll have to overmark it. You may catch a few females that are investigating, but you're right: it's deadly on the males.
Gland lures ... three different types. You could put a bait in one, but that might provoke digging and you really don’t want that; the goal is really to get them to shift their feet back and forth going from smell to smell.
Lol!! We filmed it yesterday ... we actually don’t get much snow here in Missouri ... what we do get is exceedingly frustrating freeze-thaw conditions where it’ll hit high 30s, low 40s in the daytime and be in the mid-20s at night. Combine that with rain every 3 days or so, and it just gets real hard to keep traps working and not frozen in at nighttime.
@@StaggsintheWild Actually, since holes are so hard to dig in frozen ground, and the snow is a foot or even several feet deep, I like to make a trench type hole and put a log, or something over one end so it looks like something dug under it. The traps are bedded right in the snow on thin packing material like the stuff used to pad refrigerator doors. The pan covers are the same stuff. If the snow is cold, and powder like, it works great. Lately this season, the snow has warmed up too much in the day, and froze my traps in at night. It's really a challenge to keep them working. I have a few videos of it this year with fox. Here's one that shows it somewhat. ua-cam.com/video/1mpDuFLpzGM/v-deo.html I'm jealous that you have dry ground! I really like your videos by the way.
Either right on sign or on a spot where travel/movement is highly anticipated. Still, it’s amazing how sensitive predators’ noses are and this set shows that we continually don’t give them the credit they deserve - even still.
@@StaggsintheWild I think some coyotes are more comfortable/curious at a set and more likely to work it good when they find it with their nose rather than their eyes. Seems like too much eye appeal can make them nervous.
Try variations … put a flat set in nearby. If there’s an abundance of food (especially in warmer temps), they might not feel the need to go digging for food.
One heck of a good instructional video thank you sir

Appreciate those kind words... be sure to subscribe, as we'll be putting out several more trapping videos this winter.
Great video! Subscribed.

Excellent Instruction, Real Stuff, been trapping 60-years, always learning to learn... New Subscriber !!! Thank You...
Welcome, and thanks a bunch ... honored to have you aboard, sir!

That was a bunch of useful information in one video, thanks for the time put into this.
Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Cannot wait to see what you catch there and did give me a few extra ideas as well 👍
Love the movie of your sets going to have to try this keep up the good work love the shows
I am a frist timer and I been not having any luck at all traps been out for two weeks and coyte are every where but no luck anything you can tell me I use top dog bait jet fuel and all kinds of luer
Thanks Stagg!! awesome video and keep them coming Sir!
Good clear explanation on these. Very much enjoy
I tried the triangle of death set and had a coyote dig everyone of the 3 holes and miss the trap completely got any tips on something I should change?
No, I wouldn’t. Just sounds like you had a bit of bad luck. Got a friend that’s pretty much running that for all his sets this year and he’s just stacking bodies left and right.
Ok thanks for the video I'll keep tryin!

I can't wait to try these tomorrow. Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Just what I needed to study.

A great video buddy it helped alot!!
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
Awesome video
Thank you!
Awesome video!
Thanks!!
Great video. That triangle of death set is real similar to what I call a compass set. Very very good video Thanks for sharing
Thanks a ton for taking the time to comment! Good luck this season!
Do you have a link to the "catching K-9s video you were speaking of at the 25:20 mark? I could not find it.
Here ya go! Thanks for watching.

@@StaggsintheWild Thanks! I just found it about the same time you replied!
Great game cam footage!!!
If I may make a suggestion, make sure that your shadow is not covering what your filming. It’s hard to see what you’re doing if in the shadows.
Agreed 100%. I didn’t notice it until I was editing the video. Will definitely fix that next time!
Is the sents a gland lure or urine for the triangle set?
Gland lures ... three different types. You could put a bait in one, but that might provoke digging and you really don’t want that; the goal is really to get them to shift their feet back and forth going from smell to smell.
When did you film this? No snow? We get too much snow for any of these.

What’s your favorite snow set?

Wrong link!! I think I fixed it now.
Still the wrong one! OK, I think I got it right now.
@@StaggsintheWild I'm having the same trouble.
Nice informative video! The triangle of death must be right on sign with no visual attraction I'm guessing?
Either right on sign or on a spot where travel/movement is highly anticipated. Still, it’s amazing how sensitive predators’ noses are and this set shows that we continually don’t give them the credit they deserve - even still.
@@StaggsintheWild I think some coyotes are more comfortable/curious at a set and more likely to work it good when they find it with their nose rather than their eyes. Seems like too much eye appeal can make them nervous.
100% agree ... that’s why we love making one “flashy” set at a good location and then backing it up with a well-blended flat set of some type.
No just put it anywhere!! It works great!!
Im still stumped on how to catch them...i get pics like crazy of them goin around it, but wont mess woth my bait hole
Try variations … put a flat set in nearby. If there’s an abundance of food (especially in warmer temps), they might not feel the need to go digging for food.
👍
👍👍👍
no sifter?
Watch past the first set … I usually use a sifter but didn’t on that one because I brought in presifted waxed dirt.
sure wish we could hear you better ... seems like you mic is cutting 1/2 volume
Now im worried my ca chloride is not pure
Read the ingredients list. 😊
