I put the sets in the ground on Saturday while the weather was nice and the ice had them moving last night.
Fortunately I had a youngster that wanted to learn to trap and I got him to tag along Saturday and then today when we checked the line. 3 coyotes 1 raccoon and and 1 opossum. It was too muddy to remake the sets but maybe we can do that in the next few days.
I will say that I have always run MB 550 4 coil traps but I have been reading a lot about the Duke 550 pro series with offset jaws so I ordered half a dozen to try. Two of the coyotes were on the new Dukes and they did the job just like they should.
