Coyote trap preparation

How about leave the coyotes alone.

Find walnut tree
Get bark and walnuts
Dump in pot of water, drop traps in and boil them

This will take all the oils out, and dye traps blacks

Then dip in hot wax. Simple really

Boil them with vinegar and make sure after you have boiled them for a few minutes to let the pot boil over so all the film on top boils out of the pot. You don't want to pull your traps out through that gunk.

You don't have to dye coyote traps but you will need to wax them pretty quick before they start to rust.

Store them when you are done in a plastic tote with a couple hand fulls of oak leaves. They will smell just like the woods.

Old guy that showed me how to trap coyotes used Speed Dip.It’s a concentrate you mix with Coleman fuel -white gas.He boiled them first.
It’s not easy to trap coyotes,I had better luck with snares.He wanted them alive because he sold them to fox pens.

Good luck. The single one I managed to catch was by putting the trap under leaves a foot or so in front of bait. They are very smart.

Duke makes terrible quality trips baw, gotta get Victor.

Need to strip. Then a light rust coat then dye and wax
