You're a master baiter son.

[@rongarber8264]

Agreed

[@adamhorne3155]

Awesome job! Keep up the full circle videos. They are great for veteran and new trappers. Thank for all your work from PA

[@chadsherwin3991]

Well i gave the step down dirt hole set a try for the first time and got a nice red fox first night thanks for the videos and please keep them coming

[@denver_suvvcrews8388]

Great set up and great job of explaining everything

[@bradleymarquardt4464]

Awesome videos you do one hell of a job. Great work thank you for putting these out.

[@jasonbrazzell2313]

Enjoyed the video and have a set of the Duke's pro series 550s on the way. South Carolina here and cant wait to start trapping

[@kennethwagner6311]

I really like watching your videos they're very informative I've tried trapping for coyote before and was unsuccessful now I believe that I have enough confidence after watching your video that I can do it right with that that particular type of set it's it's really a good set man I mean you've taught me alot

[@masstrapper7645]

I love the full circle videos. It’s the whole story. Great stuff may wish to put the full circle all in the same video. 👍👍😎

[@davidbaker5701]

A variation of your set on sign rule. Sometimes you have to make your own sign. In the Texas panhandle its pasture and ag, not a lot of timber. In January here , the coyotes are breeding.. I would bag coyote scat where I would find it and then make a flat set at the corner of farm road intersections or a point where Ag and pasture meet. My bait was one coyote turd and I would soak it with bought coyote urine. This time of year they are very curious about other coyote's scent marking their territory... or at least its my theory. It also works well on areas where coyotes are trap wary from other trappers. Just wondered what you thought. Love your blog.

[@CrenshawMafia7]

I have yotes traveling a roadway through my property. I set up and down that road on the sides in the center everywhere I see tracks but can't get them to come to any set. Even after I pull traps nothing comes to investigate any of the dirt holes or lures or anything. There's always fresh tracks. What am I missing.

[@therajuncajun6487]

Shhhhhhh....less talky, more worky! Lol

[@rawbacon]

Trapped when I was a kid, it was a great adventure and we made a few bucks.

[@jamesdarrow4675]

Nice song dog nice to see your teaching experience you have gained thank you

[@308NEBRASKA]

Definitely like seeing the catch as well as the set. Just finished fleshing and stretching my first critter. Your videos really helped. Thanks from Nebraska

[@goliath200us]

Amazing that you have a job and still are able to create such entertaining videos. Good job as always.

[@sowgooddeeds]

Very helpful thank you. Seeing it in full circle goes a long way

[@lonniechartrand]

Great explanation on the remake, and I like your comments about scent control and "over thinking" things! Good job.

[@calebdenig9958]

Its awesome seeing all the support for trappers.

[@carythorne5019]

Thanks Stu

[@richardwhitfield6202]

A feed sack works great for a kneeling pad and a spare is always folded up waiting for me to loose the one I'm using. Great videos as always.

[@johngentry5899]

Set on sign !! 👍 If they ain't there the set doesn't matter. Nice video !!!

[@joshrouse4103]

Learned so much from watching you... keep it up as always awesome videos

[@keithbender5759]

got a 21 pound racoon one time at grandma's house best BBQ i ever ate God bless that woman real down home cooking north Carolina style

[@cobb525]

What pan tension do you normally? Your full circle set is great. It really shows what works and what doesn't for you. No bs tactics

[@markhildebrand42]

3lb

[@marleneclawson7855]

Thanks for the good info! This is my second year trapping in Pa. and im struggling with the yotes. Good info is always a help. Thanks again!

[@samuelscott3216]

Thumbnail goes hard✅💯

[@donnabray1930]

Thanks for the tips on this set . Caught my first bobcat last night! It actually checked out my flat set. But the step down set is what was successful

[@johndishaw6600]

I really appreciate this. It's rare to see sets and then catches in them, thanks!

[@bertram_oredrock]

I don't hunt or trap but, watching guys like you apply your knowledge on video is interesting. I also watch a guy in Canada and he uses snares. One in particular is called a "Power Ram". He uses huge piles of bait as lure and describes the many trails. Thanks.

[@BigBeavrSlayer]

Proof in the pudding Stu! Great work!

[@diegorodriguez7536]

Great vid!! Keep up the good work👍👍

[@zacblonien]

Thanks pal. I’ve been havin trouble with coyotes digging up traps.

[@timothyrothrock4173]

Are you sure that its coyote digging up the sets. I put trail cameras on my sets and found it was skunks. Contaminated dirt from the remakes is what my fault was.

[@zacblonien]

@@timothyrothrock4173 I didn’t see any skunk tracks around them, so I just assumed it was coyotes.

[@KD_Outdoors]

thanks for yet another great video. I always enjoy watching and learning from you.

[@michaelpritchard5330]

Good to see you are well stay safe out there till the next video

[@1Buckluck]

Thanks for showing the catches!!!!

[@Mannichef]

You are not alone on this planet!

[@chuckward8650]

Stu. I'm a hunter and a fisherman. I know coyotes are a nuisance animal and need to be kept under control. All I ask is that you dispatch the animal before filming your trap tips. It is one of God's creatures and deserves that respect. I appreciate all you do. Just respect the life you take

[@joshuahunt1210]

Agreed on all points.

[@lukasbejcek8841]

Stop be moralizing. This video is excellent. I think this guy has respect for the animals he kills - but on other side, coyote is no pet, it is just a wild nuissance animal. It has just a few minutes of stress because of doing the video - but cows feel stress much longer being slaughtered, for example... We cant treat all animals as pets.

[@goodcitizen3780]

Ummmm... Not everyone believes in Bronze and Iron age War Gods. I don't think it's a requirement for ethical trapping. He made the video like this, not because one of many Blood Gods commanded it, but because anyone can put a dead coyote in a trap and claim it got caught on such and such set but a live coyote in the jaws says it all. It's not gratuitous, what he's doing. Climb off that horse of yours, take a knee, and look down the trail and you'll notice the view changes.

[@georgezink8256]

This trapper has total respect for the critters , it’s how it is ? No bleeding heart

[@superiorpropertygroup]

@chuckward8650 Stu has more respect for animals then tormenting them I know I’m two years late responding but I’ve watched this video a dozen times and it’s perfect

[@t.r.martin8947]

I heard you say a little about scent control I'm new at trapping and set some in the area where I was seeing fox and I seen a pawprint in the dirt close to my set but he didn't work the set hard enough to get caught do you think I'm leaving too much scent there?What do you think it is?

[@NYContractAR]

Do you make your own bait? If so, what does it consist of? Just bought my first set of traps. Thanks.

[@danielmastin3606]

I love useing the Step Down Dirthole. Like you said, they step in full commitment.

[@fabulous7567]

Start to finish in prep and ended in a trapped coyote! Now lets see this yote on the board!

[@ferengiprofiteer9145]

Couple years trapping dps for coons. Got 3 dbl coil traps this year. I kneel on a corn sack inside a corn sack. It folds, it rolls, it weighs nothing. Sharing from my vast storehouse of ignorance. 👊

[@davidschaub271]

Good video! Thanks

[@willlothridge3197]

Good video. Really like the 360 platform

[@rossilake3430]

Stu , Thanks for all you do. I live in a residential area and have many arborvitaes that squirrels love to eat. I have tried everything, but they come back the next year. I loathe Squirrels! NW Indiana. Don’t sweat the negative comments, ultimately you have the final dispatch decision. What if somebody’s pet is in the trap?

[@bonesdc1]

Every time I find the ol dirt hole she slaps me and tells me to stay out of there. 🤪

[@outdoorrn2980]

Another outta work comedian.....

[@TheDidjidude]

@@outdoorrn2980 I'm glad you liked it he's here all week. Please, be kind to your waitress.

[@keithbender5759]

lol I know her too

[@jimwolabaugh3608]

Can you please tell me what you are using to finish off the coyote?

[@yz8096]

Very cool! Thanks for the instructive video!

[@theeverydayamerican1125]

Hell yes! Full circle videos are the best!

[@ronwilson3414]

Good video keep them coming always learn something

[@phillipwilkerson614]

Great job guys

[@tothemaxxoutdoors4771]

Great full circle video. I’m jealous of the clean dirt you trap in, no agricultural fields in my neck of the mountains, just rock, strip job leftovers and gray clay.

[@John-mh6mi]

Great setup

[@pensnut08]

I have a separate set of tools in a bag just for remakes. Gloves, sifter, etc. It really has made a big difference.

[@marlinnewton4659]

Its great that you will have all these trapping memories as you go through your life and it takes guts to share your catch, i live in the exact center of montana and trapping was the thing i enjoyed most, hunting season in the 70,s was over soon but trapping cats went till april, my best catch was a 40 lb bobcat north east of winefred , in the Missouri river breaks , life never ends and a coyotes life has it ups and downs and they hunt also, play your videos like you do, people dont have to watch, besides your sendind creatures to animal heaven ,a awsome place , where moast everything and everyone goes then and now. lile your sets , and your dont sweat the small stuff way of teaching.

[@Silerlonewolf1970]

Thank you for this follow up video, I was wondering if you would. Awesome thanks full circle

[@philrusso1979]

Thanks going to start this season

[@outlawcrocker4321]

Awesome video Very good information

[@walterbowens7245]

I love your vids !!

[@paulshuntandtrap1039]

I appreciate these types of videos. I’m a new trapper so it’s very helpful

[@vegasgorby3562]

I'm just getting in to this and thank you for your video. What to you use for bait to get them to the traps and where are good places to put traps at in the woods?

[@Summertimesadness.25]

Excellent video, thank’s for sharing!

[@stephenharris4057]

Great video. Loved getting to see you make the original set and see the results!

[@chrisLandscaper]

Great video again. Learning a lot from you for my first season trapping. Could you do a video on dispatch gun and location with no blood. I am getting a lot of blood with my sub sonic .22s when dispatching.

[@evanbylsma3902]

Can you talk about the dispatching shot? Ear hole? Eye? Is a lung/heart shot ok if you want to keep the skull? What’s a proper caliber?

[@andrewloizou1497]

So what do you do with the coyote? Please explain. Thanks Andybl

[@williamtgrizzle8636]

Great job good video

[@shawndubay4050]

Pretty good video!! I love that air rifle. What model is it?? I have the Airforce Condor SS .25. Super accurate, very powerful and pretty quiet. Thinking about some custom parts for mine. Hopefully will be pushing out over 105 foot pounds of energy.

[@keithnavarro2930]

Sharp observation and keeping it simple.

[@WildAboutBeingOutdoors]

I love the step down dirt hole. Once they commit it's all over. I love watching your videos 👍🏻

Like you say set on sign , has help me . Thank s

[@raydowdy6914]

Do you carry your traps in a different container when going to set out a line?

[@huntnfishnuts5880]

Now that’s a solid coyote catch. 👍

[@stephanieurbina4441]

Absolutely love your videos... 😁👍

[@josephhaworth461]

I love yalls videos they're highly educational and I have learned a ton from watching this education since I am just starting out with trapping and for now I only have one dp and one bridger 1 3/4

[@redwolfmedia1276]

How about some aerial views of the property explaining terrain features and why you believe they use it? I haven't seen anyone do that yet. Similar to how "The Hunting Public" guy's have done but with deer and it has made them wildly successful. Goodluck!

[@wadewittman8510]

Awesome job Stu 👍!! I just knew you'd have a first night catch! Hey, check out Edward Schneider. He's a longliner and puts sets in with his bare hands, no gloves. He explains that scent control is not an issue.

[@popapi1970]

Great job.

[@jasonseckel7086]

Love the video, but really would like to know more on that air gun coon creek, does it put those yotes down pretty good? And do you just put it right between the eyes, ears?

[@willschneider1273]

I just made one of you big crazy step down dirt holes today old buddy. It’s new to me so it took me a bit to finally say the heck with it let me try it. Another grate video buddy.

[@flickster1559]

Awesome content. Do you have a video of how you make your wax dirt?

[@southernindiana1320]

Nice seeing others use airguns as well. First video I've seen of yours and I enjoyed it! I'll check your channel out! What cal airforce airgun is that? Looks like a talon or a condor. Those are some very powerful adult airguns. I shoot mostly crosman and Benjamin products. I have a 357 bulldog making close to 300fpe I use hog hunting!

[@drewburrington3407]

Great video Stu. I really like the “full circle” format.

[@shaynefreeman5473]

Awesome as always, keep it up bud!! 👍👍

[@groundeddutchman5852]

So set on sign...got it
