I know this has probably been asked before but here we go. For strictly Coyote traps in Virginia with freezing and thawing and snow and muddy wet conditions what trap in your opinions would work best Jakes or Bridger? I want to pick up a few of one or the other??

Catch just as many coyotes with either one. Have to tune the bridgers and just take the jakes out of the box. Will need to respring the bridgers a lot sooner too.

I wouldn't have a issue with either. Guessing you could get a few more bridgers for the same amount of money.

Make some wax dirt or sand , set duke #2 and catch animals. Jakes and bridger will freeze if bed not right.

ALL traps will freeze down if not bedded right, plan ahead.
