I seen some that had white traps , paint or something else ? The trapper that I bought them from just used them rusty but I wax and dye all my other canine traps but never really trapped wolves so I’m learning .

Not that his is the only way to treat wolf traps but he does a great job of consistently catching wolves so there must be something to it. I look forward to seeing your trapped wolves . Allan
