^^^^^^ 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???

Thanks SW. My back feels totally different today. Little bourbon and went to bed at 9 pm. Fixed it right up. 1 coyote so far. Should be back to bunkhouse by 10 am. Get hair cut. Finish washing cloths and get blood pressure washed off a few traps. And I will be done. And have some off time

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

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.

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?
