Eastern Coyotes

Western Numbers
Most high-numbers coyote men are out West, and adapting their methods and locations to the East can be challenging at best. Our instruction at Coyote U will fill a void that's been left open for far too long!
Our locations, weather, equipment and regulation limitations cannot be replicated outside our region. If you don't have the luxury of trapping in the West, you can still take coyotes by the numbers. Coyote U can help you become a One Percenter right here in your backyard.

The Pipe Dream Set for Canines - Free, Complete Instructions Online!
I’ll be the first to admit that the success of a dirthole set is undisputed, and the flat set is quite effective in the right circumstances. But the fact that the trap must be bedded in and covered with dirt creates complications when the weather deteriorates.
The rain and freezing temps common on fall canine lines can dramatically increase time spent on maintenance, and limit the amount of traps you can keep functioning. Keeping a canine line operating in these conditions can be hard work indeed.
I started taking a hard look at conventional setting methods, with several basic goals: simplifying sets and materials, increasing set making speed, keeping sets functional despite weather, and reducing set maintenance.
One obvious weak point was the dirthole itself. It took time to dig even in good soil (rocky and frozen ground makes effective dirthole building all but impossible), and the hole often filled with water during rain or snow events.
