Have to work hard in the summer to pay for trapping season when its hard to go to work.

I'm 72 yrs old and I use Duke 1.75 and never had a coyote get free. Another trick I've used is to get a dead cow, horse, etc from some of my farmer friends and use it for bait. I have caught 2 coyotes at a time using this set-up! I put 6-8 traps around the dead animal and put up a game camera so I can see how coyotes are reacting to the site. My traps are just far enough apart that they don't touch. This bait site will last 6-8 weeks depending on cold weather. I have caught all my coyotes with the coyote tripping 2 traps. I have the site located on my farm so I can drive by and check traps without leaving the truck. Every coyote had a trap on a front paw and usually a back paw. The BEST bait is a skinned out Beaver nailed to a tree. A dead beaver is hard to fine where I'm located. One last thing I notice is a male will bark at me when I walk up and a female will try and hide her head. Sure wish I had some way to put photos with this comment!..... Happy trapping!

Held a lot of coyotes in a duke 1 3/4, gotta base plate em and throw a couple swivels in with better chain but for a budget trap a little tinkering does fine

Who to bay

Let your pot be less then a boil it will wax more uniformly.

4 coil or go home

This is a great foot trap info video, thanks, ..... oldgunbuff.43

Nice review

But you left rust underneath the wax and rust will thrive under it. Rather doubtful protection.

How about 1 video to remove a hook breech plug

This guy needs to watch the series of Management Advantage. They have awesome stuff for coyotes. Always give a like to someone trying to dispatch coyotes as I raise livestock and have lost dozens of calves to them.

Do you have part 2?

What is a good size anker cable length?

Good video 👍 my grandpaw used to use crushed hardwood charcoal for dye and have a couple pounds of wax floating in the dye and would dye and wax them all at one time. New sub here enjoying the content, keep up the good work

To clarify my statement of two years ago; Along with the #2s I used a 12"chain and usually a stake in common use way back when. If you put a 3 foot chain on a trap that allows the critter to run 6 feet and often is the cause of a pull-out.

Wow, that is a really smart mechanism!👍 I didnt know it works like that. Really deadly 😊 Have a good luck, many drowned catches and a good market for your fur!

You keep saying how cheap the Duke trap is, but if you figure in the base plate/center swivel to be welded onto the bottom of the Duke, the dog and pan modification, the replacement of the trap chain with a #2 or #3 machine chain plus a couple of good quality swivels and maybe a shock spring, just to make the trap coyote ready, then you have jacked the price way up, and would have been better off to buy a high quality trap to begin with.

2 foot. Down is the minimum.

Traditions Tracker? That's the take down tool I'm looking for.

Sleepy creek 1.75 coil spring not good for coyote?

Do you use fresh everything each time you dye?

Buy American.Dukes are made in China.

Duke are the cheapest trap over sea crap!

I'm glad I found and watched your video, I almost ordered the wrong traps ! Great Video

Nice catches buddy good to see ya catchin some fur, I decided to hold off till December so tomorrow I'll get a few sets out. TIGHT CHAINS Brotha.

Great set-up buddy! good luck with the rest of the season!

Funny how aggresive the little animal was! Probably he knew well what you were going to do him ;) Anyway, since 2015 he has been no more aggressive - probably serving somebody peacefully as a part of a fur coat :D Good job!

Love my Bridger #2 dogless. Just got 3 more

3lbs just isn’t light enough, I seen them pull away just off loose dirt which causes misses. We have all seen that foot print right on our pan. I don’t set for just coyotes though. I want to catch it all.

A Virginia coyote is rarely under 35lbs but I catch them up to 60lbs. They will destroy a Duke number 3 without mods.

Dukes started to make the duke 550 which is the exact same as the mb 550 but it’s got a square pan. There also making duke 650s which is the bigger version of the duke 550. And now there producing an 850 which is a bigger version of the 650. I suggest using the 650 in the Midwest or the 550 depending on the size of the coyotes

I use the duke 550 pro they're very similar to the MB550 good traps I love em Thanks for sharing

Use those 1.75s for fox. Awesome fox traps.

Duke came out with a 550 and it's a pretty good looking trap. I haven't had a chance to put them in the ground yet, but it's basically a copy of the MB550

I'm in Indiana and the offset mb550 is the biggest and toughest trap we can legally use for yotes'. I've tried the rest and I really like the quality of the mb's. Good comparison.

Good stuff like the pup! New sub here

I like the #2 dukes with square jaws 4 coiled, they're small enough to not damage fox feet, but they hold coyotes and bobcats just fine

I kept waiting for the hunting part 🤷

Nice songdog catch bud the pooch definitely wanted a piece of the action. Peace Brotha.

Nice catch! What breed is your dog?

congradulations on a nice song dog!!

Nice setup I have a similar boat and motor

Ick specially! ROTFLMAO!

Mine got ahead of me and dried before I could do much of the breaking. It's like a piece of wood now. Going to try to rewet it and see if I can't get it soft. No fault of the product. Seems to really do the job and is easy to use.

I see this is 4 years old, however im just getting into trapping in nebraksa too of all places haha subbed to the channel, just ordered myself 50 tags.

Please change the title to use the correct word: breech to describe part of a firearm.

Is that full deer hide excluding the neck and head

Great catches bud and really diggin that cool sneaky set, I'd call that the double trouble set lol goin to find s place for that set. Some peroxide and duct tape on that thumb and ur good to go lol. Peace brotha.
