Modern Trapping Series Part 18 Double Set for Coyote

[@Tinius]

Thanks for another great vid, Dave. Also, I received my PLSK1 in the mail along with the pack stove with grill top and the bottle and nesting cup with the bag and the bottle clip set. Absolutely amazed with them. The PLSK1 feels as if it could skin a tank. BHK knocked one out of the park.It's "bullet proof" for sure. Thanks to you and your family for putting up with the shenanigans the last few years must have provided to you and them. Tiny - Columbus Indiana

Great idea with the double set. I found a leg bone of a whitetail and kept some partridge tail feathers for a visual attractant for some red fox this fall. These videos are awesome! Keep it comin'!

[@diejestor]

Thanks again Dave, appreciate your effort.

[@peacedude1176]

Learning a lot with this series. Thanks.

[@michaelthigpen8150]

great series, ordered my traps today.

[@pelagic6]

They are expensive, but I use those big walk in cages with the floor trigger to catch problem coyotes and dogs. It is a little more humane when caught, but it's up to you to do what you want after they are caught... Great tutorial Dave.

[@TheWayha]

Great job. Thanks for sharing the wisdom.

[@bowdog62010]

Dave, Thank you for all you do have done and are doing for those of us who are stuck in a city and trying to learn sustainability and survivability. have tomatoes and eggplant growing, my peppers died this year ( bucket garden) Laylla bug is a cutie. a question where to get earth anchors. btw the wife thinks I am crazy. oh well.

[@thedigitalsorcerer]

hey dave, if your having trouble bedding your trap try adding some water to the dirt, not enough to make mud but enough to make it pack better. Just a thought. Take it easy bro

[@butchb5433]

Good video Dave. Thanks for all your great info.

[@harmdar]

when you set the trap put the dog towards you and use your palms to hold the jaw down, then flip your outer jaw up and use your fingers below the jaw, if you set your trap this way you will find that you wont get your fingers caught in the trap

[@ohiodoubleA]

love your trapping vids. keep up the good work man... im from ohio to its a great state for trapping

[@samuelgustavsson562]

love the video Dave, keep it going

[@MikeWareoffthebeatenpath]

3 days till I can set my traps, I am so glad you did this series when you did. It was perfect timeing for me.

[@LeeWolfLittle]

As a grandmother i love your videos and passing the knowledge on to my young grandchildren. Any chance you could put out more videos like the two you did with your nephew Jamison. Thank You and God Bless

[@YTSKI]

I agree with the trail camera!

[@buckinyeehaw]

Im gonna do this double set, I planned on using cow bones this year. Thanks for posting cant wait to see more!!!

[@AlistairSylance]

Loving these videos, Don't really have the opportunity to do anything in them but they are extremely interesting to watch :D

[@EatCarbs]

Great stuff Dave.. Thanks for the video

[@JGrous]

That's some great lookin land your trapping! It just looks really doggy! There must be a lot of coyotes around there! I'd love to deer hunt out there as well! Great video as usual brother! I live this series.

[@MrGoosePit]

Hopefully he uses a "deer stop". It's a device that attaches to the snare, preventing it from closing down enough to snare a deers leg.

[@30STR8]

im going to film my trapping season this year it will be nice to see more videos in trapping then what there is now

[@TheGordonjd]

First time I ever clicked on your video so early that the thumbnail hadn't even showed up yet lol. Enjoying the series btw.

[@Iasco92]

Great video, as usual!

[@USMC65UH34D]

Looks like a good set Dave. Were sure to see that Coyote soon.

[@bigjohn20081983]

Dave have you ever thought about making or buying a small hand tamper for making your trap bed I dont know much about traping but I would think it would give the trap a better base and keep it from rocking ect you might even be able to make one with a dowl rod and a wood block so that you can take it apart and carry it in your pack just a thought thank you for all the great videos you put out

[@21theslayers]

hes using an earth anchor its a small piece of metal that you can attach to the chain. It goes in vertically but after its driven in it turns horizontally and cant be pulled out

[@23Belligerent]

This one is sure to work. I bet there's something in one of those right now. 330 for me here in Texas.

[@MrHubcap21]

Hey Dave, great videos. Can you include one on the skinning process?

[@NaturalStateNative]

Are there going to be additions to this series about what is done after the animal is trapped and dispatched? Such as proper skinning without damaging the hide, tanning, selling fur, storing fur, etc?

[@ensom]

nice vid, thanks dave.

[@ladder391]

dave do you have a trail cam? set it up to see how your traps work and or how animals are avoiding them

[@imfasa]

I just love this series, just as all your other videos :)

[@quentinrox2663]

Nother good video Dave. Cant wait for your winter trapping videos though!

[@YTSKI]

Dave, what size earth anchors do you use. I want to buy them off of your site, but they don't specify the size. You, and your love for people with the videos that you produce is why I truly buy from you all the time. Thank you for your common man approach and your loyalty to your viewers!

[@mikelloyd106]

Id add a scent post set about 15 to 20 feet away from there to catch his traveling partner also.

[@beatleguy64]

Hey Dave. I always love your videos. Do you have any plans yet for videos during the winter?

[@colehiller5934]

dave, love your videos, what are your plans with all your pelts and what do you plan on doing with the carcus , i love the earth anchor idea, you need to show a video on pulling one of them out, they look like they will be a pain, keep up the good work brother and hope that stuffy nose goes away

[@Tbrunscheon]

In this type of set, would you have to worry about the coyote getting hung-up in one and then getting hung up in the second trap as well? If he is trying to work himself out of the trap and gets hung on the second, is he likely to damage himself? Just curious, as I am looking to start trapping. This series has been amazingly helpful. Thank you for everything you do.

[@JCrook1028]

He uses a ground anchor that turns sideways when pulled up on. That's what he is driving into the ground.

[@Velopb]

could you make a vid about what you catch in the traps you make please?

[@lunarolm1703]

In places where it's difficult to secure the trap in the ground, like on that hill, would it be advisable to peg the trap down with stakes so it has less chance of being dug up?

[@Gammock]

Nice vid as always, Have you had a chance to try out those Danner boots? I was thinking about buying a pair but would like some feed on them before I do. Thanks for sharing the knowledge and good luckk on the trapping. Shawn

[@BigHickory357]

Good video thanks... btw sounds like your getting a cold... better take some raw local honey, ginger and lemon....

[@teamdudd]

Dave why don't you gang set more? I catch a lot of coyotes and if a spot is good enough for one set its good enough for two. Also since you use pan covers try the stiff screen ones. They increase the pan area a lot giving a bigger catch area.

[@AnnuMakt]

Do you have any suggestions for the potential domestic animals snooping around? See it's inner city or suburbia here, tragically.. but there are infinite smaller lots between abandoned businesses and such that would certainly yield game. Only real concern is the potential for domestic animals and/or local ordinances. Plus it's always fun adapting your methods to my area.

[@predcaller]

Dave, I’m wondering about those earth anchors. I notice you use them on all your sets. I’ve been with some real pros, government trappers, and I’ve never seen them anchor a coyote trap hard and fast. Without exception they used drags. A solid anchor gives the coyote something to pull against, and there is to much danger of a pull out. Your thoughts?

[@jbranham4130]

aluminum screen works good adds to the kill area of the pan also

[@mpwalsh1981]

I've been watching the vids. it seems like you don't use a spike to secure the trap. Are you using the spike to drive the chain down deep or something... Personally - i'd think you'd want to secure the chain more. Can you explain more? It looks like you are using a 2 foot spike to drive the chain down, but not keeping the spike in the ground.... can you explain more on that issue? Thanks - Great posts!

[@acemech777]

So are you practiceng for the real fur bearers or just have a coyote problem. Thanks for all the grate work I've learned a grate deal.

[@thepopcorn00]

dave i am a new 13 year old camper who uses a eno hammock. you are my role model. any tips and/or tricks? -Jonathan Powell

[@MrMokrzesik]

Dave you are no longer allowed to take any time off. I had to go 3 days with no video!!! never again ok? peace my friend

[@brandonmitchell8504]

good video dave loving te series! maby my fav out of all the vids. got a couple questions. first do you get hogs messing with your traps? and a little off topic, are yu going to do a review soon of that pathfinder buchur knife? i think its a winne lol i wanna buy it and the waits gettin to me. thank you

[@cheeselyman]

you think the earth anchors would hold up against a wolf?

[@gander2000]

Good Luck on this set. Just wondering how long does the bait scent and urine smell last on a trap set?

[@sticknstonesbrkbones]

Dave, isn't there a way to anchor both, the skull and the trap, to the same anchor? That would lower the weight of your pack and the anchor would have that Dual Purpose that you like so much. Just saying. I enjoy this series. thx

[@edward20m]

What happened to the coyote you got in the snare? Great video and looking forward to the next one

[@bobevans7152]

Dave, great video brother, curious I've always wore gloves wether it's rubber gloves or metal working gloves with rubber on the palm,I see your bare handed have you ever had any issues with cent? As in had it ever caused issues with the human cent?

[@LivingHistorySchool]

hope he doesn't poop on your set! nice job, but he is the trickster

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

What's the coyote count now. Got anymore since the last video?

[@21theslayers]

What do you use for a pan cover? I've tried different things but I've found the best to be a square cut piece of a burlap sack to be the best.

[@elpadrino1024]

Hey Dave, could you explain the gland lure that you use? What exactly is it and why does it work so well?

[@bulldog62js]

Awesome vids as always Dave! I love this series. What happened to the bobcat video?

[@slipmud84]

Who say that whatever get trapped in there in that gets trapped twice?

[@peacedude1176]

I came across horse skulls tied to a tree once while hiking, is that something a trapper would do to attract a coyote?

[@Ali.N147]

when you watch his series from the beginning they make more sense

[@gregsimon3014]

How do you like the earth anchors?

[@Joshmegwes]

nice tool your using there to hammer the anchor and dig with, what is that?

[@LeeWolfLittle]

Sorry about the boo boo in posting

[@thepopcorn00]

lucky!!!

[@PolluxA]

Did you catch anything besides that coyote in part 17?

[@Tsugden]

Looks like a geologist's hammer.

[@acemech777]

Do ypu have a coyote problem? Or are you just practicing for the real fur bearers. Thanks for all the grate and hard work i've learned a lot from your videos.

[@wereice100]

Dave this has nothing to do with trapping but do you have any plans for the survival adventure network in the near future...thanks

[@aroccop]

does it matter to wear gloves or not sir? and have you ever caught a black coyote?

[@pearljamfan99]

Dave- Total novice question, but what is the pan cover for?

[@tonyomotorzone]

Hey what do you think about this trap Belisle Foot Snare 6" and would you use it

[@ML_Progressive-Jagd]

Hey Dave, What kind of shoes du you wear in this vid ?!

[@estuart76]

hi dave, still luvin the vids man. trying to get my 8 y, o lil girl into all this. i just bought some YoYo fisher/snares, i was wondring if you have any experience with them and if they are actually any good? thnx

[@hebrews412alan]

Dave, unrelated question to this video, but are you left handed or right handed? Seems you do stuff lefty a lot, but not always.

[@thepopcorn00]

too much money man.

[@426superbee4]

Dam Coyotes, THEY ARE SMART! they have scouts set out b4 the pack moves in. The deer does the same thing, have look outs while the heard eats, one get full and looks out while the look out eats. If i can only kill coyotes and not deer ect. i would set out anti freeze for them, But other things gets into it as well even bees. I have a pack of about 35, i'am going to make some land mines for them around some bones in a ditch, so the deer wont get around it. Deer like open flat fields. They howl by my window about 3am and every time i open the door with the 12 ga. pump there gone. Even the crows knows not to mess with me. in the mornings He Heee

[@4HitsWilystyle]

heck i would go sniff that set! lol looks good man!

[@kumbackquatsta]

i hope you catch a coyote and dispatch it on video

[@buickwildcat1]

Okay this is my last comment on this series stop trying to guide the coyote it's a waste of time. You can force a bobcat and gray fox with a lot of fencing but red fox and coyotes don't like to be boxed in. Try something subtle. Take a piece of wood say 2to 4 inches round and place it opposite to where you want him so step. And dig your whole at a 60 degree angle which will force him to come closer to the hole to work your set Plus firt holes are that good in summer heat.

[@silentsteelghost]

Too many opinions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sergeantsilverheart]

first!

[@BartleyJ]

I refuse to kill any Canine unless its absolutely necessary.
