If I had 400, a pressure washer, a cement mixer, a car wash, a weed burner torch, etc. like the real trappers I might do different. Not into getting bait stink in my wax. ( I know I'm anal that way ) The other year my son picked up a box full of spray paints. For a time my dps were like Easter eggs, all different colors.

Michigander trapper M Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 1,847 Michigan	Originally Posted by Calvin I wax mine. The coon do polish certain areas but the wax gets in many of the cracks that water and rust forms (pivot points, springs). . That wax keeps things from rusting and moving well. Wax is a good lubricant. All triggers are different. Mine are fine with wax on them. They are too stiff with rust on them, IMO. To each his own. Agree 100%. Most of my traps have a bead of wax on the dog when I first set them for the year. Snap it off and set it. I have never had problems with waxed dog proofs firing randomly.

Take care of equipment and it will last you a long time of fun service. Jim Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
