I pulled all my 550’s for a week or so, then reset them. A couple had dirt packed under the pan and were hard to trip even though I put wax paper over pan to prevent that.So I have been running my line- had bait stolen 2x from a dirt hole set that I set on a natural dirt hole- second time I know the traps were frozen.
I have caught several coon and possums in dogproofs (10 in 2 weeks of having them set), but these yotes are kicking my tail.
I saw where somebody put pillow stuffing under the pan instead of wax paper over the pan to prevent dirt getting under it- I tried this and reset on Sunday. Tuesday night I had a coyote trip a trap and there was hair between jaws/ guess maybe he just didn’t get caught square or well and was able to pull out? I reset it, along with a blind set in the trail going to hole, any other suggestions or recommendations?
