Post by: Doghound on January 27, 2012, 02:06:41 PM

is it rare for a coyote to get out of a leg hold trap ?i set a dirt hole set last night and i checked it at first light and trap was sprung  coyote tracks in snow and ground was all tore up ! he got his leg out of trap. ??? any suggestions ? i guess it may have caught him low on leg ?

What were you using for an attractant?
