Been 7-8 years since I done may trapping, already have a few traps, “older sleepy creek”. I was looking at the number 2 Montgomery, and the MB 550.

Looking at a dozen or so of em to set around the house. What’s the best yote trap for the money now days? Thanks

That 550 gets great reviews. I use a #2 bridger dogless. I’m new to trapping and haven’t caught much (2 bobcats, 1 coyote, and had a coyote pull out).

I’ve got the mb 550’s and some of the duke 650’s. 550’s definitely seem better built but cost a little more, I’ve caught stuff in both so no complaints

I like the No-bs k9 extreme jr trap - comes ready to trap out of the box - no dip r waxing

I can't tell much difference between the mb550 and Duke 550. I like them both but have acquired more mbs than anything. I like mb650 alot to. They bed really nice with both jaws locking down

I agree with this

Agree with the No-BS K9 Extreme Jr

Recently had the chance to handle some Freedom Brand Alpha dogless. Same jaw style as the MB550 but with a dogless pan. Nice thing about these is the pan latches on a projection on the bottom of the jaw rather than the top like a Bridger. The Duke 550 is budget friendly and about the only difference between it and the MB550 is the pan shape, both use a SS rod style dog. The K9 extreme's are very well made.

Any of the above will catch and hold coyotes. Just set on good sign, bed them well and blend carefully.

I run MB 550s and really like them. K9 extreme looks good also but I’ve never used them to give a review. I do think my next dozen will be something dogless to see how I like it.

Make that 3 coyotes and 2 bobcats for the bridger #2 dogless

If I can set them, anyone can

Although those k9 extreme look really good too. Biggest thing there is no prep work
