get you a dry 2x4 and cut it at 4 ft. a dry 2x4 is roughly 1 pound per 12 inches.
a flat set will help cut down on the cats, there are also other sets out there that will keep you from getting them 99% of the time, heres one
get you a clump of grass, roots and all, I am talkin one of them big clumps, put it in a 5 gal bucket. when you get to the spot you want to make your set, put in a fake dirthole with bait and lure, then take your bucket and go 10 ft from the dirthole, basicly after you make the mock dirthole, stand up and turn around and walk out 6 to 10 ft. take the clump out of the bucket, dig a small depression for the root ball to sit in, place clump in the depression and pack the dirt in to make it solid, once that is down, dig ya a trap bed out 6-8 inches and to the side 6 inches, bed your trap solid and blend in well, DO NOT USE ANY URINE OR ANY THING AT THIS SET. it will be a natural set. it is a K9's habit to urinate on something when they find food, so they can find it again. with nothing at the true set, it wont attract anything but the yotes and foxes. give it a try. it should save you from lossin this farm. Good luck and happy trapping.
Don't listen to Jeff he can't caught a yote!...I'm only teasing!!!
This is a good set
