With the regs we have in Ohio whats the biggest you run for coyote traps? Ive been pleased with what ive seen from my Sleepy Creek 1.75 offsets and their offset #3 double longs. Ive tried MB550s but the inside jaw spread was even less than my 1.75s. Id like to try something in the #2 or #3 coilspring range.

I was thinking id like to try the BMI k9 wolfer. The way those bases look though make wonder how they'd hold up to big yotes.

I always used a # 2 coil, I even put and extra set of coils on one set in case regular # 2 wouldn't do the job, but they always did. I think if I remember correctly a # 3 is two large, unless there are several different sizes of # 3s out there. I don't have the regs handy, but think 5 5/8" is the max opening and the # 3 I had were about 6".

Garry-

The biggest I run is the MB650 IL. Mostly run #2 bridgers or #3 montanas

I used 1.5 dukes one season when theft escalated here one year only had the jaws pulled on two on 65 coyotes

Does anybody know if the Victor #3 FOJ jaws are thick enough to be useable on land in Ohio?

They'd need to be laminated to be legal. Jaws must have a foot contact surface of 5/16 inches if they are over 5 3/8 inside spread.

Rv6, ifn you're looking for some good coyote traps I'm west of you in the Findlay area. Gonna be listing some soon. Montana #2 s are a favorite of mine though.

Always interested. I used to run around the Findlay area for a few years.

I like Bridger #2s. Laminated and 4 coiled.

Sniper thanks. Your Montana #3s... Which version, and do you mod them?

I buy them fully modded. The stock ones need modified to be legal anyways.

Montgomery #2s look pretty slick too. Like the pan takes up a lot of real estate inside the jaws.
