brakes and puts his thinking appara- 
tus into motion. If he decides to in- 
vestigate further he will squat on his 
haunches, raise his nose toward the 
high heavens and indulge in a long 
weird howl, mingled with short sharp 
barks. First he’ll try a long and two 
shorts, several times, and if that par- 
ticular neighbor doesn’t answer his 
call, he’ll hang up the receiver and try 
two longs and three shorts! Sooner 
or later he gets an answer and pretty 
soon another coyote, or maybe two, 
will join him. Then they proceed, sys- 
tematically, to pick a set to pieces, dis- 
cover its weak points and leave noth- 
ing but a lot of coyote signs to annoy 
the poor trapper. Their manner in 
approaching the set is to make circles 
around it, gradually coming closer 
each time, now and again scratching 
in the snow or dirt until the exact 
location of the traps is plain to them. 
NE of the most aggravating and 
seemingly unexplainable incidents 
which the trapper has to contend with 
is this: When his traps are in work- 
ing order the coyote seems to avoid 
them and when the pan is frozen down 
so that an elephant wouldn’t throw 
the trigger Brer Coyote will walk 
over it! This is not literally true 
but actually happens enough times to 
make the trapper superstitious. The 
moral is—keep your traps in working 
order! This may be done by bedding 
them down carefully. When you set a 
trap, hollow out a place of the right 
depth so that when the machine is 
covered lightly the surface will remain 
unbroken, as nearly natural as pos- 
sible. It is sometimes advisable to 
place a piece of paper on the ground 
or snow, as the case may be, for the 
trap to rest on and then, being sure 
that no lump is under the pan or be- 
tween the jaws, place another piece 
of paper, just large enough to cover 
nicely, over the widespread jaws and 
sprinkle lightly and evenly with the 
same kind of dirt as you dug from the 
hollowed-out place. In a cattle coun- 
try dried cow manure makes an excel- 
lent covering for a trap. Don’t em- 
ploy anything that isn’t natural to the 
surroundings. 
ie a coyote ranges through where 
sage chickens and jack-rabbits are 
plentiful he won’t be especially suspi- 
cious of scattered feathers or bits of 
rabbit hide. Old badger mounds are 
good places to sets traps blind, ap- 
proaching them on horseback or in a 
ear and doing all the work without 
actually bringing hands or feet in con- 
tact with the earth. Place your bait 
twenty or thirty feet away and the 
average coyote will saunter over to the 
old badger mound, liking an elevation 
from which to inspect the bait. 
Some of the very best blind sets can 
be made in a stock country as follows: 
Wherever some sort of obstruction 
has fallen across the stock path, the 
domesticated animals will make a de- 
tour but unless it is a very large ob- 
struction, Mr. Coyote will cut across 
every time. In these cut-offs blind sets 
are very effective and they have the 
added advantage of being safe from 
molestation by livestock. It is often 
impossible to make the best trail sets 
owing to the constant travel of hoofed 
animals. These sets are especially 
practical in a sheep country where 
every fallen tree will cause a new de- 
tour. 
1d is often advisable to place two or 
three traps in one set. It’s a good 
idea to stake each trap separately, the 
stakes so located that no two traps 
can touch with the chains extended to 
their utmost. Remember that in order 
to trap a coyote you have got to figure 
out where the animal is going to step 
in a space no larger than the pan of 
a trap. It seems reasonable that two 
or three traps would increase the 
chances of making a catch, does it 
not? 
A sheepskin hanging from a tree 
so that it will flop around in the wind 
will surely flag a coyote from a mile 
distant. Of course he isn’t apt to go 
within fifty yards of that sheepskin; 
in fact you shouldn’t let him get that 
close, for if you’ve carefully studied 
the situation you should know just 
about what trail or trails he is apt to 
travel and a few traps scattered ju- 
diciously ought to make it impossible 
for him to get very close to the flop- 
ping sheepskin. 
The Royal Chinook 
(Continued from page 77) 
would bring forth tons of squirming 
bodies; the State has set a “dead line” 
for commercial fishermen several miles 
below Willamette Falls. Even one man 
with a gaff or pitchfork could fill a boat 
in a few minutes; this act is called 
“snagging,” and is strictly prohibited 
by law. An over-enthusiastic fisherman 
with a trolling line would get his 
“limit” much too easily, if allowed to 
operate in the mouth of the fishway; 
the “dead line” is one hundred feet 
‘downstream. For the enforcement of 
these regulations the State maintains a 
liberal force of special officers during 
the salmon season. Even at night the 
falls area is patroled by a giant search- 
light. But still there are violations. 
It will identify you.
