If you were to buy 150 new coyote traps what type would you buy? They are for western coyotes.

Mb 550

MB550's are hard to beat.
I played with a few No BS K9 Extreme JR's last year, and they were very impressive too. Dogless if that makes a difference.
I have zero experience with Western coyotes.

I would go with a Sterling MJ500 or MJ600 if you can find them. They are pricey but worth every penny. If you are looking for something you can easily obtain, that is more affordable, and you are willing to possibly modify if needed, you should look at the Duke line or the MB line.

Easy choice, no bs

Either the No BS Extreme or the Junior. I’ve got both and they catch western coyotes just fine. I just got a dozen Alpha 3s and am anxious to try them. There’s a fair number of really good coyote traps on the market. I have a few Duke 650s and am impressed with them.

If I was starting out from ground zero I would pick any one of ones mentioned in this thread and use it exclusively. That builds speed and confidence and simplifies repairs.

A lot of bang for your buck

Duke 650s

I would take a look at the very new Duke 600 when they become available, if you have some time before your purchase.

Thanks for the ideas. I think I will order the duke 650 and the mb 650 and mb 550 to compare. I'm currently running Montgomery step ins and Montana #3s. They are all ready to go for this season but I want to replace them next year. That will give me time to try these other brands out. If the 600 is out in time I will try it also.
