Here in MI the CR’s are a joke - 60” maximum length with no entanglement, mid line swivel required in addition to a swivel at the staked end, 285# BAD required, relaxing lock required, AND the ever effective deer stop loop of 4-1/4” minimum diameter. Coyotes can still be caught, but it takes a minor miracle to hold one. Neck caught fox are non-existent. I agree, Mi. has the second worse regulation on CR's in the country only the states that don't allow any form of snaring on land are worse. I can't recall but is 1x19 3/32 cable allowed for CRs in Mi.? Beav reports great luck with it vs 7x7 for preventing chew outs. www.iowatrapperstalk.com ON SALE NOW - ADC's Baits and Supplies, click here

With a relaxing lock and the giant “dog stop” they seem to pretty easily spin that cable to a side position where the chewing commences. I’m not sure if there’s much worse than a cable coyote
