Trap treating question - 06/30/20 12:06 PM
Cleaning traps and getting things ready for the upcoming season.
So you can dye traps, dip them in thin paint (or similar) or coat them with something like FMJ
So my question is what is the combo?
If you paint do you wax or FMJ or just the paint?
If you dye I know most wax but do people use FMJ over dye?
I will mostly be targeting coyotes on my property with dirt holes, flat sets and possibly walk throughs.
I was all set to paint and then dip in FMJ but then I read that if you make something like the "pipe dream" that the coyotes can possibly smell the trap
I don't want to shoot myself in the foot, I need to put a dent in the coyotes. I know of 4 that have died this year and I am still getting pictures of 2 and possibly more. They eat chickens and probably some deer and in the past one of the goats.
