They are both legal here in Tx. I use both. I like either offset or laminated regular jaws. Sometimes you can have a pull out with offset jaws, if its just a toe catch or a smaller animal like a coon.

I have been using dog droppings and coyote mating scent and it seems pretty good. I thought about trying a dirt hole set.

Trapped a good tom on a buddies place. He went out hunting this evening and found this guy in one of my sets...I was surprised to catch a cat in this particular set cause it was set for Fox. I used a bone and put red fox gland on it but I'll take it. He gets pictures of Fox and coyotes every night but the are real skittish of a dirt hole set so I've gone to flat sets and scent post.

Just got back from the ranch this afternoon, got down there Christmas night. Made several sets, put 4 snares in well used trails in the high fence and nothing. Found 3 old badger holes and put some dead rabbits down the holes with jaw traps set on the outside. Nothing at all, all advice on setting snares in the fence for coyotes, Bobcats, and badgers? Thanks

We caught a gray fox and a coyote in the same night this past week. I am after the coyotes and the gray fox was in a live trap so I let him go. The fox was weird compared to others I have trapped. It just hung out and didn't seem scared. He let me pet him with a stick and didn't care. Looking back, I hope it wasn't rabid. It just acted like a pet cat.
We have had no luck on dirt holes, except for rabbits. The flat traps with domestic dog droppings and coyote mating scent seems to work within 2-3 days every time.
I am only catching female coyotes, is that odd?
