each side of the trap will most Rener- j
ally force him to step where you wanrj
him to. Scent should be plaoo4l one '
or two feet from the trap or even fur-,
thep if animai must so to it by way i
' of trap. One trap is a I
erally used in a set. though often it is
. necessary to set two or three very
close together to take some very sly
old coyote. If two traps are used they
should be set so that the pans are
about ten inches anaft. This distant
is just a little less; than the us ial step
of the coyote and if one trap is miss
ed he is a-nt to step on the other pan.

ping T consider much different from
the other three seasons. First, if In
cold country, fifty miles of trap line
or two hondred traps set elost tost'th-;
or as around bait stations, set and j
cared for in the proper manner, is all j
that nnv one man ls capable of handl
ing. The traps are to be set the same
as in summer with these exceptions
they nfnst be covered with non-freezing
debris such as wool, dry home
manure, salt or other natural dry re
fuse. I consider, for this season, bait
sets better than scent sets, pieforablv
horse flesh. The bait should be left
where animals may have access at
libertv for some time previous to set
tint? traps and should be located at an
old bait station because when in pre
vious years a coyote has been accus
tomed to feeding: at a certain loca
tion be is- less shy than when at a new
place. About four traps and no more
should l.e set around bait 'stations bo
cause one exposed trap dofeates the
purpose of the others until fresh snow
falls and eliminates all sisns. Tn
tra'ls and runways, close to bait sta-'
tions, say one hundred yards away.!
are very appropriate sets, because j
When a coyote is drawn to a certain
place he is more easl lytaken than if!
traps 'were sti-uny over a larger area
where the animals are not so apt to!
frequent. Then the pass way sets are
Very effective. Some place under a
rail or woven wire fence wln-m the
animals have been in the habit of
passing. The coyote will never jump
fence if he can crawl under, while in
his usual mode of travel. Therefore,
one trap on each side of a fence, in
the trail of the passway, without ns
itiK either scent or bait, is one of my

Poison baits should lie made up while
in camp at night or other spare time.
They shoulld be made of solid pieces
ot tallow, two liicnes long, one inc.i
wide, and 1-4 inch thick. These slits
should be made lengthwise and 'i 1-2
grains of processed s'.ryehnine insert
ed in the center. The hole made in
the islit for inserthm Hie poison, after
the poison is placed, should lie filled
with some yrease which will easils'
