THE best way to do Coyote Traps, IMO

Let them spin for 15 - 20 minutes then wax them. Easy to do and nothing more needed.

What’s in the mixer with the traps?

Can you tell some about your set up? What make model is your mixer, and what media did you have in there? Thanks

Mixer about 150 -200 delivered find them on amazon.com





From tractor supply, don't remember if I bought fine or medium been using the same two bags for three years.

how many can you put in at the same time?

I only do 4-8 at one time. First year I did more and didn't use a paddle. Now I use one paddle and less abrasive. Buy a bigger mixer if you want to do more traps a one time.

Exactly how I do mine with the same blasting grit. I go straight to wax also. I put a 10 to 12 traps in at a time 550s and B2s.

Thank you for posting this! I couldn't justify a mixer for waxed dirt alone... Now I just need to figure out how to convince my wife this would be handy for her garden.

mixing up peat black dirt organic compost and fertilizer perfect veggies and flowers every time not to mention washing grungy skunky clothes every wife should want and have one

Perfect! She's in the garden now. I'll tell her about "my" brilliant idea. Thanks, Jeff!

How bad of a tangle do the chains make?

Every now and then one will get tangled around the mixing paddle, but no problems otherwise. Even that is not really a problem.

I do the same but use blasting sand.

I removed one paddle. Chains will catch in that occasionally but it is not a big problem. My chains are about 12 to 15 inches.

I just boil them then wax, some need boiling to de-scent them

Yep, me too.

15-20 minutes to do 4-8 traps...ouch!

I use pea gravel With water mixed in its much faster!

Works for me. Most are OK after about 5 minutes. I pulled the paddle and doubled the abrasive and number of traps. Actually the bolts holding the paddle came loose and it fell off. Did 100+ traps Saturday as I worked on other things.

That is too easy, too simple! I will probably just do it the old way???? Gotta think about it for a while........thanks.....jk
