This instructional coyote video concentrates on making variations of Flat Sets, East and West of the Mississippi. These sets can be used anywhere, but really come in to their own at game trails, dry washes and all types of Access Roads. Use any type of backing (bone, wood, rocks, etc.) for different ways to blend them in. People walk right by. By using a variety of Flat Sets, you will be more successful at trapping coyotes, especially the wise guy. Fast and easy to set up, but a lot of trappers over look their effective use.

The Dirt Hole has caught more animals than all the other sets combined. The main reasons are: #1) because it's used the most, and #2) its eye appeal. Once you learn the basics of making the dirt hole (from the size of a mouse to a badger hole, from a well-blended set to four feet of scratched out rough digging) you will see they can be used in any part of the country and are deadly. Shows fast, simple and effective sets made using good equipment and good lure, in the right location. Location is the Key in all Trapping!

Lots of trappers feel the Set is the most important thing in Cat Trapping - but Location is the key. Shows locations and variations of sets made. Dirt holes, walk through rubs, scratch up sets, etc. It takes extra hard work to be a "Cat Man" and to take cats in numbers.

Blind Set Locations are often over looked. This video explains how and where to make blind sets. It doesn’t matter where you are trapping – dry washes is the southwest – trails in the mountains or back East in farm country. Just pay attention while working your regular line and those set locations will just come up and slap you in the face. You can visualize that animal walking through there and hitting that trap. The Blind Set adds one more notch to your skill and ability to catch animals. Join J.C. Conner on his Eastern line and then head out West for some more trapping.
