Posted this on T-man. Figure'd I put it on here as well ;D This is how I make my Fox/Yote sets. Works great for me, catch a variety of critters. I start off setting my Pan Tension at 2.5Lbs. I pick my Location, Which is a trail in a cut field. I prefer to make my Trap Bed a little tad bit bigger than the trap an fill in the spots to bed good. I bet my trap real good, then stake it down (Which I didn't in this set, was just making a set for yall lol) I place the trap about 6-8 Inch back from the Dirthole. Then I place a very, very small amount of Dacron under the pan. About the size or a Quarter, maybe a little bigger. Then Put my Wax Paper Cover over the trap to keep the dirt out. I use about Half and Half Peat Moss to bed an sift my traps. I used a little in this set, due to me being out of it. I sifter the dirt over the pan real good, (I undercovered the pan to show yall where it is) Good Sifted Set, ready for some blending in. I make my Dirthole with a piece of 12" Long 2" Wide PVC Pipe. I hammer it in, then move it around a little, then pull it out. If done correctly, the dirt comes with it. Also, I like to cut little stalks of grass from the roots to use for Guiding. Like this, and around this size. My Finished Set. :grin: Hope this helps yall in this year Trapping Good Luck! :grin:

Nice looking set. I have always used smaller pipe/rebar to make my dirtholes and wiggle them around real good. But I like the looks of a bigger hole with yours.
