I'm not exactly sure why you chose the word, "elite" ?
Do you wish to become knowledgeable and reasonably competent; or do you just want to hang around self proclaimed experts?
Either way, you have to pay your dues in one way or another.
Soak up whatever you can. Maybe you will succeed? LB

I thought this was an urgent matter? I'm going out of town for the weekend so if we are to fashion Mr dogduster into an elite "yote" hunter by Friday, there's not a moment to spare. How can we help, Amigo?
Hello?

LB, please drop me an email. Your fancy-shamncy AOL account is blocking my emails for some reason. JamesH, I suppose you and dogbuster are partners? Looks like his sleeves in this photo you posted in the trapping forum-  Have you guys been trapping long? Had much luck up there in Northern Indiana? |

Actually, you'd need to skin it. Flesh it. Wash it up nicely with a little detergant. Dry it. Fluff it nicely and comb out the burs... then you might hit that $2 jackpot. The money is in volume!  |

MAYBE the reason you are "getting all this" is because the tone of your first post is classic TROLL. Provocative, ambiguous, difficult to decode and answer; these things are usually more deliberate than accidental. So, giving you the benefit of doubt and assuming innocence; this is not the time to play the sympathy card.
Why don't you ask a legitimate question and we can go from there? LB

We could start with a little English verbage instruction.
The word is not "SET"; it's
Quite a lot of the attributes of a good stand cannot be taught. It is instinctual, you have to have a "nose" for gamey looking areas that reliably hold coyotes. Then, you have to understand the terrain features and wind direction and use them to your advantage. This is a huge subject and after you have a good working knowledge of what to look for, you begin to understand what is usually OVERLOOKED by almost everyone else.
On the other hand, you cannot go wrong setting up on sign. Sign is obvious to a trapper, but the audible responses you get from howling can lead you into spots where they are right now, not last night. They don't always respond vocally, but they usually will investigate, if you were careful in your approach.
There are three answers to wind direction. Set up your stand with a view downwind. Look upwind is another method and my favorite, sit crosswind so that you can see both upwind and downwind.
I could write a book on the theory and most of it would go right over your head, but for now, just try and think like a coyote, come up with your own ideas and learn from every experience. Of course, you learn from successes, but the failures have their own lessons.
You really need to ask specific questions based on experiences encountered in the field. LB
