I’ve been prepping traps all day. I have 12 dz a mix of mb 550’s, sterlings and k9 extremes . 2dz 3N and 4 dz coon cuffs and 5 live traps for raccoon. I know a lot of you have a serious amount of hardware. Post how many you have. If you can’t tell I’m bored lol I’d like to try the Alfas and also the Duke 650’s.

You sound like you have a well rounded arsenal of coyote traps. If you had to only run one trap for coyotes what trap would you run excluding the obvious choice of the MJ600. I have 2 dz of the No BS k9 extreme jr with the wire levers I have high hopes of being my go to trap for coyotes. I do love my Mb 550’s. Wish the jaw spread was 6” and the pan was just a little larger but they hammer the coyotes regardless.

I actually know this one, as I just finished my prep and processing and got them all organized. I have 35 dozen cat & canine traps, 90% a mix of Bridger #3 dogless & MB 550, the rest a balance of double longsprings, No BS jrs, MB 650's and a couple dozen smaller coils. Plus another 6 dozen mixed sizes of bodygrippers.

About 500. Just did my inventory update. I don’t set nearly that many, and some are pretty specific in purpose. Like I have a couple totes of 110s some for rats and some for mink. Same with 1.5 coils a couple toes full and I don’t plan to set any of those this season, no water in ponds or creeks around here so not wasting my time trying to find some. On predator side there is bulk of my traps and I have different models and sizes for different purposes. I typically run about 75-100 traps a season and will be a Mix of coyote/cat footholds, some DPs, and some 220s. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
