Love your videos. I'm a fan of the Dukes too. I'm liking the new #2 square jaw 'ol Bill come out with for us. Speaking of long springs, you want to sell some of the ones you aren't using anymore for cats? I'd love to buy 'em from ya for cats. Let me know if ya want to sell a few of your old long springs. Great videos. Can't wait to see what ya got in store for this season.
Great video and nice idea. Only question is how do you prevent the top layer of dirt which covers the trap from getting wet and subsequently freezing? That is where I struggle as it freezes soild and of course wont fire so I hope wax dirt (top layer) will mitigate that issue.
seen this along time ago old timers used styrefoam and the asphalt shingle my coyotes can smell try sandpaper 60 grit works here mtjpredator contrl out
This will help a lot all I run is coil springs. Thanks for sharing this

Got rid of them a while ago.
I have old trapping book that showed those blocks to keep trap from freezing down
What is the name of the book and auther?
that is a GREAT idea thanks for sharing.
I'm guessing you put an umbrella over the set to prevent whatever you bury it in from freezing??

I don't cover the trap with dirt
How do you cover it?
I dont cover it at all. The trap is exposed

Wish you would show it being put in the ground
Are you still using this method and having success ?
Do you use offset jaws on any of your number 4's
davhughes2001 No
U can't bye toothpicks here in Canada for 98cents,
Do you laminate your jaws on your number 4's?
Some of them are. Going to do all the rest this year.
will not work wood keep them out .show video with actual catch using this setup
Why don't you explain why the wood would keep them out. These work great
