Nice catches all.
I have a big cayote problem but can't seem to trap any. I've setup on fence lines mainly and center of log roads on edges of thickets. I have mainly tried to get them using dirt holes with scents and bait in the holes. Is this the right method or should i be trying something else? I don't have any issue catching non target species like possums and skunks...lol

If you can use snares, they're great for coyotes. If not, find trails and blind sets right on the foot track run can be productive when they won't hit baited sets, no lure, nothing. Otherwise just make sure your traps are clean, bedded really good, setback at the right distance, and wait. If you have lots of traps, I would try a couple different types of bait, sometimes throwing something different at them can spark their interest.

Good luck, and keep on trying!
