I have 20 traps left to pull tomorrow. That will may 19 days. Trap set 17 days before it caught. Good lure. Will last a long time. 44 days is my longest catch. Know guys in West Texas that have traps set 90 plus days before connecting Good stuff ST! Thanks for taking time to post your job pics and info. Not very many trappers running like you are.

^^^^^^ this trap setting here so long reminds me of something else I heard on here. Someone was talking about = A defeated set? I thought to myself = This defeated set crap is nonsense! Defeated trap???? Did the coyote come by with a pair of bolt cutters and leave with the trap??? I caught a coyote last year on a set that had been out for 4 months, buried under snow for a good chunk of it, before it melted off and connected
Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand

steel------ would airing down your tires help you in those sand dunes-- we use to do that, I love my tacoma. running 10 ply tires-- a real good 12 v compressor works to bring them up---- use to run a 200 mi a day dirt route for the USPS years ago KS it would. Because I have 50 lbs in each tire. But. Pros and Cons. I have some places with bad misquote then places that are just sandy. So airing up and down would be alot.

Have a safe trip on the road Thanks. Still picking up MJ 600 Sterlings. May take 3 or 4 days off and do some = Texas. Sight seeing. Then again may not Do you "re-treat" (dip, etc.) all those traps, or just set them as is?
