 Dave, I am afraid your results will be lacking,even using 2 traps. If you must use soft carch traps, go to a number 3.

I realize you addressed this to Bogmaster but I'll throw in and second his opinion.  If just targeting coyotes, the 1 1/2  is a little small and I would use at least a #2.  I have caught and held our western coyotes in a 1.65 consistantly, but they have been incidental catches and the set was initially ment for fox.
Thanks,
Trapper Jack
