Think Like a Predator

More often than not, we are more successful on the trapline when we start thinking like the critters we are chasing. The cat and mouse game is awesome and often requires us to continue learning and adapting. We punched this set in after we figured out what the coyotes were up to. Hope this helps somebody out there!

[@BubbaGump777]

Dude, just subscribed yesterday, and have been watching several videos. You have a practical, no nonsense approach to coyote trapping. I'm glad I ran into your channel. Thanks!

Tight chains, brother!

[@floydlenz2280]

Good looking set .. I like the time you take to explain what's going on.. So often it's how fast they make a set and move on.. For some of us a little time spent explaining is what we really need. Thanks for your efforts.

[@biggstimetrapping9323]

My pleasure. Hope you’re having a good season!

Man that's a great lookin set 👌

[@allibani]

Awesome information thanks

[@amaraholmes853]

I put ramps on both sides of the set at a 45 across the berm about 10 feet back from the set and aim the trail directly to the set. Spreading the disturbance seems to make the yotes less suspicious also. Nice set hope it produces.

Nice video, thanks for sharing! Love to see some more WV trapping videos on KZbin!

[@biggstimetrapping9323]

Trapping the Mountain State can be challenging but there are definitely predators out there that need managed.

[@davehansen8405]

was watching another video of yours where you were talking about your snare locks. we also have to use relaxing lock in ohio and i also use reverse bend washer. i agree that the coyotes see the the big washer lock, so i started making them out of a 7/16 washer instead of 1/2 inch washer, i drill 1/8 inch holes and it works well with 3/32 or 5/64 cable. tried using even smaller washers but they just dont hold them. but it seems like i have had less refusals since i went down in size. the 7/16 washers hold great and havent had any pull out.

Good job buddy thanks for sharing you will catch one there I am going to hit it again after deer season.

[@biggstimetrapping9323]

Good luck, buddy!

[@streeterboyzoutdoors]

No better natural blocking than dirt clods do the same thing learn that from a Montana trapper a few year ago and its definitely increased my catches. That there is a guaranteed catch set, good work Biggs.

[@stephencutting2865]

Thanks for sharing im just curious you didn't mention if it was fox or coyote urine that you used just wondering what you prefer if there is one better than the other in your opinion.thankin advance if you do get to reply

[@biggstimetrapping9323]

Hey there. I use more red fox urine than anything else. Just a matter of personal preference though. Good luck out there!

[@NSTRAPPERHUNTER]

Great set buddy and I'm sure it's going to produce.

[@biggstimetrapping9323]

Great vid

[@jack0903]

is that upper Michigan?

[@randymclarnan5223]

When you said you use urine on every set. ? Fox. Love your videos keep up good work

[@biggstimetrapping9323]

Hey Randy. I use mainly red fox urine bc it’s generally the cheapest. I run some coyote and cat urine occasionally but not nearly as much as I do red fox.

I talk about why I do it in this video at the 6:10 mark. My personal catch rate went up when I started doing it.

[@johnbitzer2311]

I can't even catch a coyote

[@kevinwimmer4159]

If you think a coyote want step on those dirt clods your crazy. Put camera on set like that. You will learn alot

[@biggstimetrapping9323]

I’ve been called worse than crazy lol. We’re catching a few that way. Good luck out there.
