Modified Flat Set

[~ADC~]

This will be a flat set for k9s using a sun bleached cow bone as backing. Here’s a list of the needed items to make this set…

§ One trap, of your choice depending on the critter you’re after
§ Trap stake or two, again your choice
§ Sun bleached cow bone
§ Pan cover, of your choice
§ Dirt sifter
§ Good gland lure
§ Good bait

My favorite location is at the head of a draw in a picked soybean field. I start off by digging a bed for the trap and poking a small hole above the trap bed with my trap stake…


Next I stake the trap so the loose jaw will lie on the head of the stake and the dog points at the 1:30 position or so when bedded, had I of staked this trap the stake would be where the end swivel is located…


I wad up a piece of waxed paper so it won’t crinkle when stepped on, then open it up to use as my pan cover…


I sift dirt over solidly bedded trap then replace the ground cover so it looks like nothing was done there….


A few drops of gland lure down the hole, a tablespoon of bait into the marrow cavity of the bone and place the bone over the hole…


A wider view of the completed set, that bone sticks out like a turd in a punch bowl, really gets their attention…
