Anyone have a special set or two to use around cattle. I can catch coons with cuffs and near trees but, I can't catch coyotes without the cattle sniffing around and setting off my sets.

Don't let them see you. Don't use urine. Don't use any thing with FISH in it. Slide your trap sets under a tree. Where cow can get to them but Coyote can. Old cows are easier to trap around than young cows. Forget = showy sets. Be on location under a bush or tree is best

use post diggers to dig a hole, bed the trap in the hole 6'10" deep, pilot holes on the bottom inside edge of the hole with lure, or bury bait 6" or so below the trap. Cows won't step in the hole.
