Didn't think about that, all the research I have been doing said hunger doesn't matter. They are thieves and stealing another coyotes hidden food and putting it else where is natural. Yal doing more of the sent or pee post set?

Coyote Trapping – The Dirt Hole Set
I’ve had good luck with dirt hole sets in South Texas.
On this year’s coyote line, 98% of my catches came from dirt hole sets, or a variation of that set.
On the ground I was trapping, flat sets generated nowhere near the interest the baited & lured D.H sets did.
This resulted in very little foot traffic at the set, and a lot of drive-bys.
The coyotes told me they wanted bait and lure, so that’s what I gave them.
My dirt hole sets also produced a high percentage of first, second, and third night catches.
Two thirds of all the coyotes I trapped this year were caught within the first three nights of making the set.
The vast majority of those catches occurred within the first two nights.Last edited by TUCO; 03-20-2017, 04:27 PM.

I think the key is let the coyotes tell you what they want. Complete opposite of tuco the dirt holes here produced nothing. Exact opposite affect lol. It amazes me what a little different terrain makes in a coyote.

Never know what's going to work, that's why trapping coyotes is so interesting or frustrating.
That's what makes it so fun!

32 Coyotes in 13 days here.
I'll have high hopes and more steel come next season.
