Great vid, agree on the wax dirt. I use wax SAND, and swear by it for the extremes here in far northern Wisconsin. I am still a bit new to it all, but even with all the wax sand, I still have had the trap jaws freeze in at the outside edges and not fire,. I last watched a fisher shuffle all over my trap pans...so lately I am adding salt to the outside faces of my trap jaws at prep time. I saw you added antifreeze, that is key....I tried a technique where in prep time I dipped each trap in water and rubbed the outside of the jaws in a pile of salt, like making a margarita glass rim - it actually worked. Hopefully that’s the final piece of the puzzle for me.
How do you set traps in deep snow? Like 2 or 3 feet plus of snow. Have been looking but every video I've seen so far thst says setting traps in snow is usually just a dusting of snow.
Hell fire,! That's what dad said on the farm here in w.n.y. When he left for work,said I'll have a permit when I get home yeah right,I want to see u get one of them to serve & protect! The large calf died (350lbs of registered polled herferd breeding stock it actually was its self intent for its life) A price tag? Try to put one on a calf like that? Average at the time was $5000.00 for a heifer like that? Go figure. Angevine swamp of western n.y. as well as Bergen swamp of western n.y. Talk about wolfy looking eastern brushwolves & big folks, I mean big! Screw all there 50lb noises & b.s. adult females break routinely at 65 lbs. H &R 10 gauge with a 36" barrel halts all their mischief instantly.

These metal traps don’t work good enough for me, even with all this preparation, I don’t get anything
Takes time and patience. Got to be in a good spot. Definitely gets discouraging sometimes
