My best is along "LONG" drainages in the open at a crossing.
Why.... they just follow those drainages... all traffic is there early fall to the end of November.

My 4 best locations are all on old roads that are now field roads. The roads run for many miles- here and there, from farm to farm.
Second best type of locations- contoured bean fields next to wooded ridges, ravines.
Tied for 2nd best- as stef says- long waterways- again the type that continue from farm to farm.

My best location is where a mid-size stream flows into a river.

my favorite quick set location - i like the higher elevation roads - they have names around here like ridge road- all the dry feeder trickles where the water starts to pull and flow - just run off the road and duck down to canine height and when you cant see the roof tops of the cars thats the spot - just below spotlight zone and right beside the roads -quick and easy and never worry about gumbo -just a very short walk and your there

My best spots are patches of farmland in the middle of suburbia. Some so good that this year I'll have them set most of the season and will be driving a lot of extra distance to check these away from my regular line. Lat-Long: 40° 12' 5" , -75° 27' 31" 40.2014 , -75.4588 -Dan

Around here irrigation derrik(spelling?) lines are great places,because of the tall weeds,especially when these strips connect two woods on a 400-600 acre bean fields or potato fields.Great calling setups too.

My best location is just off a bridge going to a 40 acre island surrounded by a major river. This is the only land access to the island. Major interstate 200 yards away perpendicular to the bridge. What a funnel point. 4 Coyotes, 1 Fox and 2 Coons with 3 traps in less than a week and a half of trapping there. Needless to say, this location will be set up heavier and earlier this year.

kinda like the apex of long gradual contours that hit the top of a fairly narrow dominant ridge line between two valleys, if theres a log road along the top or comming up from the bottoms all the better, also like setting up the necks of those long gradual bowls, settled in between hill tops.
Fields usally play the slight contours\windage around the feature\features that catch my eye, no real set in stone favorite....jim

My best location is the edge of a mining operation that is a corridor between a river that passes through a deep ravine in hilly country and a large section of jackpine plains. This spot produces fox, and coyotes in equal numbers and is used year round with certain times having very heavy use. Wild berrys will be the draw over the next month with bear sign added to the mix.

For me in my territory Reds, the first 4-8 rows of corn in fields along drainages where the custom sprayers stay away from the field edge a few rows, weedy short corn along the the drainage, good for fox and coon. Coon two , corn on one side of the road, woods on the other, there is a trail for sure. A weedy grass water way in a standing corn field is a given. Yotes? still working on those. They are also changing my fox trapping too.

Hedge rows, crop changes and tractor roads are some of mine.
Also, hay bales and transitions from wood lot to corn field, etc.

I have a stretch of river that starts behind a lake dam and 6 miles downstream and 4 feeder creeks, 1 hwy.,1 railroad later is a fish hatchery. Past the Hatchery another six miles of completely uninhabited (by peoplr) river bottom. So far that is my whole line and when my catch drops off there I will have to drive a long long way to find anyplace near as good.
