They are tough critters.This is one animal where top noch equiptment is a must unless you just don't mind spending time making sets for nothing and replacing equiptment and what is worse now you have educated this one. Sorry for your bad experience but now you know. I have had equiptment that was supposed to be made for coyotes fail when you tie into a really big tough one and they want out.

I learned the hard way last year. Coyote pulled the entire base plate over on the bottom of the trap, the spring dropped and out came his foot. All I got when I checked the trap was a catch circle and a broken #2 Bridger. This year I 4 coiled them all and laminated the jaws. Also beefed up the base plates. We have some big coyotes here in NY and alot of people underestimate their strenth. Sorry for your loss mehuntem. I love learnin, but learnin the hard way sucks.

As usual I learn lessons the hard way. No, no mods on the trap. The season is pretty much done for me this year. I am going to be getting some new traps, all the bells and whistles for the canines. I will be better prepared next year. learned a lot this year, happy to be back in the game. Now I just need to put a dedicated trap shed in the back 40
