Dennis Lewis sets up a coyote trap during a wildlife patrol on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, N.C., Jan. 20, 2012. When setting up animal traps it is mandatory to wear gloves to keep human scent off the trap which prevents animal deviation. Exhausting wildlife around the perimeter of the flightline prevents animals from feeling comfortable and calling the base home. Lewis is a U.S. Department of Agriculture specialist from Milan, Tenn.
