allow the dirt covering to slip off, or 
to tear loose at the corners and rattle 
in the wind. 
The second most important point is 
to cover the jaws with something that 
will not freeze to them, and will not 
wedge into the hinge of the jaws as 
they spring, and prevent their closing 
fully and quickly. The best way is to 
leave the portion at the end of the 
jaws, over the hinge, uncovered until 
the very last, then you can see just 
where your trap is, and know that no 
gravel or little twig got into that place, 
as a piece as small as a BB shot will 
loose the catch. 
In covering with pine needles, they 
may be laid close beside the jaws, 
lengthwise over the pan, and the inside 
ones tucked under the jaws at the end. 
Dirt or dust can be lightly sprinkled 
over the needles with a stick to give 
it a more natural appearance.

See traps in a red ant hill, 
with the bait buried on top, is a 
very successful land set. The ants are 
dormant in the winter months, and the 
ant smell kills the scent left on trap, 
clog, or bait. The only necessary pre- 
caution is that care must be taken not 
to set the trap too deep under the trash 
of the nest, as is so easily done where 
covering material is so abundant and 
convenient. 
Clogging a trap is of lesser import- 
ance, but if a rock is used, notched and 
wired securely to the trap chain, little 
fear of an animal getting away need 
be experienced. Stakes are good, if 
strong traps are used and one is care- 
ful in approaching the trapped animal 
to kill it. A clog of wood is better, but 
is harder to conceal than a rock or 
stake. The best method when trapping 
by a carcass is to tie the trap to a leg, 
as it is not so solid that the coyote 
will break his own leg, or the trap
