Duke #2 coil for coyotes?

[Austin Laughlin]

Just got a screaming deal on 2 dozen, Duke #2 Coilsprings, not the square jaws.

I’ve used #2 Square jaws and #3 coils for about all my coyote trapping, but since I’ve added these I thought about trying them. Has anyone done the same? Worked alright?

Thanks in advance

They will work just fine. I find that I can bed the round jaws better than the square jaws.

Let us know if all of them function well, seems like Dukes often have one or 2 out of the dozen that have issues.

Will they catch and hold coyotes, yes. I do not use them for coyotes because I do not feel they are heavy enough, (my opinion). I question how well the trap will hold up over time.

Are’nt they about the cheapest one can buy?

Our season opened the 15th of November, since then I’ve caught 11 coyotes. 9 of them being with the new duke #2s. A couple of them were just toe catches, but so far no problems at all. One trap did take a beating from a real heavy coyote on hard ground. Just took my pliers and fixed it on the fly, trap seems to be fine, caught a coon in it this morning.

Here the problem is when it starts to freeze at night you are not trapping when their frozen . Light traps get bent up when your getting them out of frozen ground.
