had a guy gimmee dozen old 1 3/4 coil spring look like new traps me thinks these are to small for coyotes , what say you fellers that used or know these snappers , they look brand new un modded and very clean

I don’t target coyotes with them but I have definantly held a dozen or so in them over the last couple of years. As far as strictly setting them for coyotes I would think they needed a little bit of modifying. Base plates and bubble tipped jaws in particular. Then again, with my experience none of that was necessary.

will hold em. not an ideal yote trap. the victor 4x4 1.75 are built better to withstand the abuse of k9s.

i may try um un modified see what happens if it ever qiuits rainin i dont see how you guys that do this for money every day keep your sanity , now i kno why STEELTRAPS likes WELLERS

Set em... Bet you'll be pleasantly surprised how well the do...

Yup, they'll catch and hold a yote. Catch enough and you will learn their weaknesses. I doubt a yote will be running off with your traps, but they may leave it in pieces for you to put back together with some modifications.

well there was some 1 1/2 in there also tightened up the pan and night latched it,,, i tried it on a trail last night on a trail behind the house had a nice red fox this morning, i released the lil feller he wasnt hurtn nothin , looked just fine, gone like a rocket

I use 1.75 Victor off set jaw with lamination, center swivel with a shock spring to take out a lot of the energy when the yote fights the trap. I don't catch many yotes, but have not had misses or pullouts when caught. At my age (76) I am not changing the setup.

well i dont think i catch alot either i started doing this around 18 months ago ive never caught one in my life before then im just trying to help the fawns a lil on my lease its 240 acres some bottom land some planted young pines ive caught 26 on that tract alone in 18 months not near as many tracks very few really and hear very few way off in the morning or evenings im gonna try um if it ever dries up see if they hold one or not , been fun , learned a bunch on here also , good site

I just put new springs on 8 dozen victor 1.75 . I use to use them exclusively for fox and coyotes. Center swiveled ,short chained ,3 inline swivels and double staked. ( Sandy soil ) I never lost a coyote with these traps. As years progressed the MB 550 became my new favorite.
