HOW TO TRAP COYOTES WITH A FLAT SET!!!(I CAUGHT MYSELF)

[@KD_Outdoors]

I would just like to say thank you for NOT editing that slip when the trap snapped on you unexpectedly. being that I am still a novice trapper, I have done that more than a couple times...LOL I always wondered if I was 'special' or if other people do that too... mose people edit that out I think.. Thank You for including it... earned a thumbs up from me!

[@tfred2129]

Atleast it wasn't a conibear. The old man and my uncle that showed me how to trap, was coming down the creek with a 330 on his arm he couldn't get off and drove about 3 miles to my uncles for help. It happens man! You play with fire long enough and you bound to get burned. Take those instances and learn from them! Good job young man! Stay in the woods and on the water! I've received many many DEATH THREATS from folks that have no idea what they're talking about. I do a lot of nuisance trapping of problem coyotes,bobcats,lions and bears and I have had people try and pull a gun on me when they learned that I wasn't gonna release the animal. They do not understand that when a animal keys in on humans=equal easy Meals, if you relocate you just give the problem to someone else! Keep up the great work my friend!!

[@chrisrice6958]

Thanks for keeping it real.need to show how to get out when you do get cought

[@rickycox9616]

I just came across your videos and subscribed. You remind me a lot of myself in my younger days. I started trapping in 1978 before the internet was conceived and had to learn most of what you're teaching over years of trial and error. I know trappers catch a lot of flack because of the image painted by the anti's, so I like to support trappers who do a good job representing the hobby we all love. Keep up the good work.

[@CarolinaCoyote]

This means so much to me because that’s the whole goal behind my channel. Thank you for commenting and I hope you continue to enjoy the videos. God bless!

[@jameskearse8617]

Best trapping channel out there man. Subbed

[@robertberglund460]

Thanks for the great video. I live in Phoenix, Arizona and am trying to protect my flock of chickens and ducks. For years coyotes would come in at night but we lock up our flock at night and they are protected. This year a few have been coming in during the day, when my birds are more vulnerable and they have hauled off over 50 of my birds so far. They dig holes under the fence surrounding my 15 acre farm and come in that way. Recently I started using Snares and Traps at these holes and so far I've got 4 Coyotes. After I get one I fill in the holes under the fence and when a new hole appears, I set a new trap or snare ( I alternate from traps to snares ). When I use a snare, I hang it in the hole directly below the fence. When I use a trap, I set it a few feet in from the fence.For bait I have been using a chicken carcass, when I have one, anchored down a angled hole in front of the trap. I have never used store bought bait but wonder if different bait should be used in different parts of the country???? I'd like your input as you seem to know a lot about bait. Also, why do you combine different baits in front of a trap? I would think a coyote would eat anything he could catch trying to survive and not be picky about food. Thanks again for the good advice in your video.

[@CarolinaCoyote]

I don’t combine baits. I combine baits with lures depending on what time of the year it is. When it’s warm outside, bait and a soft lure is good. When it’s cold, bait and a loud slinky lure is good. When it’s cold and breading season; bait, loud slinky lure, and a coyote gland lure is good. Coyotes smell in layers. For example, when we smell a cheeseburger the coyotes smell burger, bun, lettuce, cheese, katchup, etc. they may get shy of the chicken carcass you’re using to trap them. They’ll eventually figure it out. That’s when different baits and different methods of trapping them come in handy. I hope this helps out! Thanks for the awesome and in depth comment!!

[@emoryking5278]

Thank you for your demonstration.

[@jimmyparker7105]

Really appreciate that you make these videos. My deer herd is down 50% from coyotes. I am about to wreck havoc on them--I hope! I had no idea you had to push the pan down until it clicks; and thanks for not editing the slip up. It’s the little things that also matter to those of us that are beginners.

[@CarolinaCoyote]

It’s all part of it! Glad the info could help out! Maybe it’ll keep you from catching yourself haha. But if you do, it does NOT hurt!!

[@tfred2129]

That's only if you have night latched pans!!! If not, there will not be a audible click!

[@DarJenoutdoors]

Caught my very FIRST coyote last night using this exact same flat set technique!!!!

[@CarolinaCoyote]

Heck yeah!! Congratulations!!!!!

[@C4Carriger]

I set off a trap this year on my first set, covered my head with dirt and bruised up my ego . I’m having a good time watching your videos, hope you have a good week trapping.

[@randallwhitaker2074]

Great video, Cavens Violator 7 and Terminator together has been the death of a lot of coyotes.

[@karlfowler3742]

Great info, I have some Coyotes and Foxes giving me problems with pets and livestock and decided I would learn to trap them and eliminate the Problems. Question, you do such a good job hiding your sets. Do you ever have trouble locating them later on? I ordered some traps and anchors, dye, wax and some of the Bait and lures you recommended . Thanks for the lessons.

[@CarolinaCoyote]

Whenever I trap a new property I use the app On X to mark my trap sets so I don’t forget where they are. There’s other apps you can use like HuntStand or Google maps works fine too. Most of the time I remember where I put all of them and how many I put on each property. Hope you get to catching some critters soon!

[@tannerbaggett7591]

Just started getting into trapping and loving your videos they are great keep up the good work!!!

[@TomSutts1969]

Wow you made that look easy!!! I'd be interested in seeing how you pull those anchors out! Cheers from Canada! 👍😎🇨🇦

[@jimwolabaugh3608]

One must become a coyote and dig the set to retrieve anchor

[@Ttalos]

He showed it in another video. He uses the drill and makes a hole next to it, then pulls it sideways and up.

[@tommclain8100]

Great video! I live in northern Wisconsin and am gonna do some coyote trapping next fall for the first time. Went with my neighbor on his trapline a few years ago, and he was big on the Caven’s bait and lures. Keep up the great content.

[@ahuntersdiary4344]

Cool video. I enjoyed it. Glad you left that snapped trap on because your right. It happens plenty to anyone who sets enough steel. Happened to me today lol. Keep the videos coming. Tight chains

[@mylifefilms823]

Just getting into trapping! I just found your channel yesterday and have been watching a lot of your videos! Subscribed as well!!! Love the content!

[@andrewgorden1041]

Hey Issac, I subscribed last season. Really enjoy your content. Enjoy the simplicity and non over analyzing-keeping it easy and basic. As a WI trapper we have to figure in freeze/thaw situations. Do ya’ll worry about that much in NC? If so, would you consider throwing in your version of a freeze proof set and show it it to us one of these days? Take care. God bless.

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Great job buddy! Good lookin set! 🙂👍👍👍

[@tommytippytoes1715]

While I'm sure my comments probably will not help much with the ""be kind to animal"" group I'll add it anyway. To the ones who think traps hurt animals especially wolves, bobcats, fox, and coyotes obviously have never had their livestock, chickens, cats, dogs killed and eaten by one of these animals. If anyone thinks that these animals aren't capable of this or they believe that their dog or dogs can defend themselves then they are mistaken. These animals not only go after other animals they can and will attack humans as the case of a 21yr old mother who had given birth to a set of twin girls 2 years before. The mother was outside with both 2yr old girls playing while she sitting down reading. Ill spare everyone the rest of the details but the young mother sustained life changing injuries but survived but the 2 young girls were never found and to this day have never been found. To the young man trapping and to every trapper that reads this, thank you for every one of these animals you catch and place somewhere much safer.

[@MountaineerOutdoors]

Great job man I cannot wait until I can get mine in the ground. I dont start until the first weekend in January because of the bear hunters..cant wait to see your catches...

[@saltwateriv5735]

Saw you wearing a Dewitts hat in one of your videos. I do most of my hunting and trapping in Ellerbe right by there

[@Tom-io5os]

Are you setting your traps at ground level or just below? Like the videos.

[@CarolinaCoyote]

I want my pan pretty much flush with the ground! UNLESS it’s a trench hole set.

[@markmckee970]

Hey man, love your videos, what size auger do you use?

[@CarolinaCoyote]

I use a 3inch and 1.5 inch auger. Keeps every set from looking exactly the same

[@carterprewitt8007]

I’m excited to try cavens

[@streeterboyzoutdoors]

Perfect, cant wait to see the catches.

[@stevedefeo1932]

When is the breeding season for coyotes? I am in NY and just getting in to trapping, your videos have taught me alot, thanks!!

[@tfred2129]

Late winter early early spring. Maybe for you, depending on how hard a winter you have, may have to adjust those dates a little later.

Where do you store your bait bag? Outside? Barn? Mine reeks. How do you store baits/lures between trapping seasons?

[@CarolinaCoyote]

I put my baits in a small fridge during the off season

[@laytonhoneycutt9780]

I live in NC also and have ran a few small lines these past few years and caught my first few coyotes. I’ve never sold fur and was wandering where you do, or do you just keep fur and maybe tan yourself?

[@lifeoftraveling8330]

I'm wanting to get started traping but not sure where to start how many traps I need how to get the proper papers needed or where to sell the furs any info you could give on how the best way to get started

[@CarolinaCoyote]

Start small and work your way up! Buy you 6 or 12 traps and go for it!! As far as the paper work and everything else that’s needed to be legal I would just call the game warden of whatever state that you’re in and go from there. That’s exactly what I did

[@lifeoftraveling8330]

@@CarolinaCoyote thanks what size traps are used most I have 2 duke #1 and a duke#1.5 I don't know what is best for coyotes and other game I'm in an area with mostly coyotes and coons

[@jonathanlong7530]

How do you recover your traps since you set the chain with rebar? Do you just pull them up?

[@CarolinaCoyote]

I use the auger to drill a hole down beside the stake to make the retrieval easier

[@johnyeller]

I got my hand stuck in a conibear trap once. That hurt lol.

[@crossfit8mile325]

How do you pull those anchors out when you want to move a set?

[@CarolinaCoyote]

I use the same auger to remove the anchors that I use for my dirt holes. Just drill down beside the anchor and then pull up on the trap and it’ll pop right out of there without having to break your back

Make sure your traps are bedding SOLID!!! Try placing the trap closer to the bait hole! Also use a backing so they only have ONE way of getting the bait out

Love the channel. The content is always very informative and helpful. Just getting into trapping and really appreciate all the time that you spend explaining your setups. I'm a big turkey hunter and the coyotes and coons are really taking a toll on the population so I figured I can do my part and try and remove some of the predators while learning something new. Thanks again for all the helpful posts. God bless.

[@CarolinaCoyote]

Thanks for the comment! I’m a huge turkey hunter. My favorite animal to chase. Best predators do so much damage on the population! I’ve seen a lot of improvement since trapping so I hope you do too! Coons are your biggest threat for turkeys!

[@tfred2129]

Coons and possums are hands down the biggest part of predation on wild turkeys. Our populations across the country are in decline and the biggest reason is nest predators. That ol hen will find her a place to raise them poults, but not if they never hatch!
