Flat sets are very versatile you can really use these with just about any object that stands out in the animals territory. They will investigate any thing new and the flat set can be used to capitalize on these situations. Urine post sets are made much the same way. This can also be used for the T bone set up as well. The first pic is a location pic were the yotes and fox will use these as travel corridors to and from bedding areas and feeding routes to look for food.
The next pic shows the tools needed for the making of this set up. A different trap can be used. I am using a north woods 1.5 for this set up. There are more fox than yotes running this area.
The Next pic shows the cut out bed for the trap. The trap isn't set yet as to ensure this is a good fit for trap.
The next pic shows the set trap placed in the trap bed and positioned as you see fit.
This pic shows were the dirt has been packed around the jaws for a sure tight fit to the bed. You don't want to have a trap shifting when the animal steps on a jaw or lever. Also if you look close you can see the grass wad under the trap pan. This keeps the dirt from compacting under the pan preventing the trap from firing. Also this helps keep the mud after a good rain from putting the set out of commission.
The next set shows where the trap has been sifted and blended in with the surrounding cover. And a piece of backing has been added for the sight appeal this is usually what attracts them it is something out of place. This can also be used for a scent post by adding a good lure to the backing.
Now the last pic shows the set from a distance. This is the view of what the animals will see. The log is a object that is out of place and will get there attention.
I hope this is a good explanation and helps you guys. DH
