Hello trapper1262, Glad to see another new man on the forum like myself. A good coyote set is: Find an active ant hill (preferrably red ants or fire ants) early in the season. Make sure there is good brushy cover leading up to one point of the ant hill. Find a flashy plummaged rooster around your barnyard or borrow the neighbors. Take the old rooster out to your chosen ant hill and stake him right dead in the middle of the hill, making sure that he cannot step off any part of it, by keeping a short rope. Don't bother setting traps at this set. By the time you open the door to your pickup, that old rooster will be sounding off like your wife during trapping season! The rooster's crow will have every critter in a 10 mile radius have a pinpoint on it's location. towards evening a cat will stalk it's way up the the brushy side eyeing the shiny rooster the whole way and paying notice to nothing else. A coyote will then make his way across the open side, stop a moment in a daze, and then start to circle the rooster. A fox has now entered another open side and decides to circle oposite the coyote to keep it's distance, yet is hopelessly fixed on the rooster as well. Two more pack mates of the coyote move in to help with the hunt and they too begin to circle. The cat has been crouched at the edge of the ant hill still gazing at the rooster. The circling animals have made the rooster get even crazier, as if the ants havn't been bad enough, an the cat just can't wait any longer and moves up even more for the kill, when...thump, crash, thump, thump, crash! All the coyotes and the fox have tripped over the advancing cat and are now out cold! now remember I never told you when you go back to the pickup, that you were to just take off for home, oh no! You should have went back to your pickup, rolled up the windows, turned the radio on softly, poured yourself a cup of coffee, fished around for that old Peanut butter & jelly sandwich you lost last weekend in the crack of the seat, and stayed awhile. You should have been parked with the frontend of your pickup facing straight-on with the rooster too, as now all you have to do is flip on your head lights and claim your pile of fur!!!! :toast:
