Dear Friends, Does anyone use this type set? If so would you be so kind as to describe how it made. Regards papabear

Bob Samuelson on here gave a demo on that very set a few years back at the Summer Fur Rondy. I put in a couple each year if I happen to run out of coyote sized traps and want to target strictly fox.

I don't know if this is considered a projection set or not but this popped into my head after reading the question

That's the jist of it, but you set the trap right under the tip of the wood, not off to the side.

Should the point be lower? and trap right under? How do you guide foot?

You want the point to be eye level with critter and I don't use any guiding, just a slight depression over the pan. I do like to blend the pattern though

Dear Friend, Is the attractant placed on the tip of the wood? Regards papabear

The nice thing about this set is you can make it coyote resistant if set up properly as the height difference between the two makes it very hard for the coyote foot to be in the correct position for a catch. The premise is when the fox is smelling the lure on the end of the stick, log, corn stalk, etc. is that his feet are directly below his nose and hopefully in the trap. If a coyote (which has longer legs) were to investigate the same set, due to height difference, his feet wouldn't be directly below the tip of the object where the trap is.

I use a set similar to this, as a post set. I find a long branch, lay it down so one end is into the wood line on the edge of a field, with the other end "projecting" out 5-6 feet into the field (Eye Appeal ), with the tip 8-10 inches off the ground. My original though process for this set is to keep the K-9 from working the rear of the set. I off set the trap to target Coyote. I bed the trap the same as Wayne, slight depression over pan and blend everything in. I've had decent luck with it....

Dear Friends, Thanks for the info fellas. This type of set seems simple enough to use. Im thinking a couple drops of tinctured castor or a funky smelling food/call lure to hold a foxes interest long enough for it step into the foot bracelet. Thanks again. Regards papabear

Hi Denny . I like your set the way it is .Seems like it is easier for them to rub on the long edge ,rather than the point with lots of foot movement.. Catch circle there allready? As papabear stated the castor will get rubbed by coyote,cat,grey and red.Lure it up pre-season and keep running it.Papabears idea of funk smell is probably a good one also ,say if a k-9 wants to dig a lure or bait up to roll on ,it should work good as a rub?

Bob Jameson explained this set in the t&p or ff&g quite a few years ago....Made the set as nyredfox described, its a deadly set when made this way.

Hey Mike, what about your boulder set....or maybe the stump set your demo'd at NTA NE a couple years back.....You're a wealth of knowledge....maybe at the Rondy this year??

Wayne, does it work for you?
I used this set almost exclusively this year. Granted, I only had 5 farms set up, but only had 2 sets at each farm. I caught 25 fox, 22 reds & 3 greys. I caught 2 small mangy coyotes and a couple of coon. I will post some pics of how my sets look before & some catch pics later, after I get help from my daughter! ;D

Her's a couple catch pics from this type of set The raccoon that is hanging out on the branch was caught on this type of set. The Yote closest to the photographer was caught with this type of set..... After going through photobucket, I guess I use it more than I originally thought

I was hoping you'd chime in Bob since you demo'd this at the Rondy. I've had moderate success, but I use more dirthole sets than anything else so I really don't give it a chance.
