First week was pretty good to me. 5 coon, 1 grinner, 1 gray fox, 1 skunk, and 2 feral cats. This week however has been terrible for me. CLosest thing to a catch has been a dug up trap at a dirt hole set along a corn field. Any thoughts? Tips from you guys who have been stackin the fur??

I have been staying away from the fields due to farmers harvesting there crops and set up on wooded trails leading to the fields and gaslines that are a break in the woods running only blended flat sets and post sets. So far for the week 8 coons, 2 reds, 2 coyotes. Hope this helps you out

KEEP LOOKING FOR MORE FRESH GROUND. I had some places set for a week with no action. Then i moved into a couple new farms and hammered reds the first night. checking empty sets can can discouraging especially when everything looks perfect. I plan on going back to the slow places in 4 weeks for another try.

I've had 3 sets out for two weeks now and nothing so far, like FTW said a fox took a dump right at the edge of my one sets

Things will happen fast....If you're on sign, be patient. If no sign, but if you have confidence, be patient.

Use good bait/lure/urine.... Fox will find your set if your close. Coyotes, you need to be in their stall out areas, travel lanes get some, stall outs get more.

Please explain what a stall out area is? I know there's yotes there I saw one at the beginning of November in a field. I've seen them there before too. I have lots of patience, i'm a turkey hunter
