Have two dozen Bridger #2 traps. Not dogless. Should I sell and upgrade? They were my Fox traps back when we use to have a decent population.

I run the bridger 3 dogless for coyotes and love them. Had 3 dozen 650s and got rid of them. I have only 4 of the 2s, and they are dogless. Ive caught quite a few coyotes with the 2s and never seen a problem with them. I just like the little bit bigger jaw spread with the 3s. But I would suggest going to a dogless trap for coyotes. I had a lota problems with the dogs getting bent before I switched. I would say if you got the money, get rid of that two dozen and get dogless 2s or 3s, if not I understand and use what ya got. Either way you will catch coyotes. Theres nothing wrong with a bridger #2 for coyote
