Anti freeze salt or liquid???
« on: November 08, 2003, 04:11:38 PM »
:D It's novice question time again. What do you fella's prefer, salt or liquid anti freeze? Last year I used salt. It seemed to work alright (when I mixed it layer by layer making a set). I tried pouring some on previously made sets,(didn't work).Can you use the liquid stuff on top of a set or do you need to re-bed? Here's a tip I was givin last year,it did work well,I used it with the salt anti freeze( caught 2 yotes in same trap 1 night apart & the trap sat in salted dirt for 2 weeks)Use the really thin little plastic bags,found in the produce section of most super-markets. They are super quiet,help isolate your trap from salt and when the trap fires it tears like nothing was there. Anyway,I've never tried liquid anti-freeze and unfortunately, it looks like we need to think about cold again.

The majority of canine trappers I talk to prefer a water/gylcol mix. I started using it and I do like the reuslts. I mix it somewhere between 50/50 and 2 to onw water, glycol.  50/50 seems too thick to spray well- so I thin it just a little more.
