I got some reset today, I had a lot of sign around my traps that should have been fur in the trap. This past rain had the traps sanded in, I haven't had that happen in a while. Maybe I'll have some pictures to post tomorrow.

Breeze you must have had a pretty good sized yote to do that. Never seen that happen before. I have heard of people bending the ears up on the jaw to keep them from pulling out.

Yeah it's a #2 duke. I pulled them and laminated the jaws with 3/16 rod today. Maybe that will stiffen them up some to. I should have stepped up to bridgers or something. Just starting out I went cheap. I won't buy no more of them.

Breeze the laminations are good but you need to bubble weld the jaw tips so they can't pull through the frame. You just weld a bubble on the end of the jaw tip.
That or buy some better traps! Lol! Sorry dude I have a few duke traps that I've acquired over the years. I just hate they aren't built better.

I have caught a lot of coyotes on regular jaw 1-1/2 dukes back in the 90's. All I'm setting now is MB 450 and 550's.
