[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2980342, member: 91783"] I have seen that before especially when people were using bait and grab sticks to check and see what animals they had in their area. They are a length of dowel rod sharpened with wool glued to one end that you drive in the ground and then put bait or lure on the wool loosen the soil around it for a foot or two so that it shows tracks well. not really a good replacement for good old tracking but kind of a gimmick to trap the trapper and get their dollars out of their pockets! Changed up the location, used flat sets and asked the old trapper not to be messing with my sets as he was now a trespasser, the landowner also had a talk with them. Killed the older coyotes that had learned from the old guy by using totally different methods, it did take me probably 4 years to get one old male without any teeth he finally came to a call one day really slow and cautious using every bit of cover he could and was just peeking out from behind a big sage brush out a couple of hundred yards. I watched him for at least an hour slipping in toward me, wanting to see how he was going to come and how close he would get. he fathered a bunch of pups with several different females, I kept getting the dens and females but only knew him by his tracks till that day.
