YOTE TRAPS
« Reply #1 on: November 05, 2003, 07:08:04 AM »
Minimum of 165 coils WITH SHORT CHAIN and at least two swivels.  Nbr 2 double longspring will hold yotes but  is a minimum and needs some mods.  Nbr 3 double longspring  spring  is better...... I could go on but it sounds like you havent trapped yotes before and there is alot  of other things to learn too so dont be bashful asking questions.... We want you to do it right and enjoy trapping yotes.

A nbr 2  bridger style coilspring or  nbr 3 double longspring.  Not the old victor  square jaw  either.

Ut for coyotes I agree with RdFx and beside you can save frieght just go down the road and see Terry Montgomery.  Now for fox those #2s and #3s will cause a bit more damge.  

Its just plain hard when you're dealing with both fox and yotes.  The 1.65s will hold coyotes but you limit you're target area and the #2 Bridgers are REAL big on a fox.
