On coni bear I only wax the spring sides, never the trigger or dog. You want to make sure you put a nail between the jaws on your footholds, just like regular waxing. 24 years Army Medical Corps I only want to be known as: A great husband, a good trapper, and a great steward of the land.

Wrong.-Only if you played with them to make a hair trigger before waxing. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
