I was a big fan of Sleepy Creek #3's for cats and yotes. Used a good number of #2 & #3 Bridger's also. I always reached for the Sleepy Creeks first, however.

3ns , still use them

1.75 OS or 3 longs

#3 or 4 longs, BandL preferred. #1.75,2,3, and 4 Montgomery dogless vintage or Victor (a few other vintage brands thrown in as well). In winter for snow sets I used/still use old 4 jumps.

I switched to big k9 extremes a few years ago and never looked back. I still use some old traps in areas that I think are more prone to theft.

Snares then, Snares now.

#3 double longs. I have some MB 650s and they have some disadvantages, but if they close on a wolf's foot and your swivels are welded, he'll be there when you get there. K9 Extremes are a better coyote trap in my opinion, and will also hold up to a wolf, but I don't have any. One that hasn't been mentioned, and I have a few that were my dad's uncle's, are Herter's #3 coils. Not that great a trap in my opinion, but the ones I have caught a lot of coyotes before I got them.

Love my #2 and #3 double longsprings, have some duke and wolf creek #2s I 4 coiled and love. 6' of #2 American chain on all of em, I trap in mostly timber so it makes it easier to anchor
Never used a mb550, probably never will, see no need to spend $20+ on a trap unless it's a big piece of beaver iron
I don't specifically target coyotes, I target whatever works my sets. I catch plenty of critters to eat and plenty of worthless fur to keep me busy tanning

#3 Northwoods

BMI Wolfer as I could afford them, hands down MJ 600 Sterling,I have 7 dozen now.

For dedicated coyote sets I've learned to love the little Montana Coyote Specials (so very similar the Montgomeris Warior mentions) and the KB 5.5.

3n’s - 3 Vic offset longspring- 3 B&L longs and 3 NW longs

MB 550 etc never a favorite for me

My first coyotes about 1972 were caught in #2 Herters coil spring traps .

#2 and #3 Northwoods

My first coyotes trapped were with my dad around 1960 in 14 jumps.

Surely you can’t be serious, and I am not calling you Shirley!

Sterlings

#’s 3 and 4 Montgomery, before that, #3 Newhouse, before that #3 DLS Blake & Lamb

Caught them in about every trap out there from 1.5 NW coils to MJ 600s nothing better then a MJ. IMO
