Summer is a great time to start preparing for the upcoming trapping season. Scouting and trap-prep are among two of the most important things that trappers do in order to get ready for those chilly days out on the line. During the off-season, sometimes Dan will practice by creating mock coyote sets in his backyard.

In this video, Dan demonstrates how to make his go-to canine set. This is a basic flat set that has proven effective on fox and coyotes in northern Pennsylvania. In this demonstration, Dan is using a modified Montana #3 coil-spring. For his anchoring system he uses chain with a bullet style earth-anchor.
