Which of the MB550's are y'all using? There are a few different options......You have 4 coil or 2 coil...and either closed jaw or offset. http://www.minntrapprod.com/Traps/departments/416/

MB 550 4 coil offset jaws with a shock springs. They say the 2 coil are plenty for anything in bama, so just call it overkill on my part

They say the 2 coil are plenty for anything in bama, so just call it overkill on my part I was looking and there's really not that much difference in cost. I may just go ahead with the 4 coil. Is the difference in the holding strength or trap speed? I'm gonna go ahead and order a dozen of them to practice with. I've got a yote right now making a routine pass by my camera every night. I've made a list of things I need to order. Do you guys see anything I've missed. The first list is what I need to order online and the second is stuff I need to pick up at the hardware store, Order onlineTraps chain and stakes stake driver wax Buy from hardware storeauger bit for cordless drill digging hammer screen to cover trap trigger sifter rubber gloves The only other thing I thought of was some bait. What are you guys using for yote sets? I'd like to be able to use something I could make in large quantities without having to buy. If I start trapping large properties and making lots of sets, it would be nice to have a cheap bait I could make on my own if possible.

I know it's short notice, but the state has an Adult Trapping Workshop this weekend at Southern Sportsman. I'm not sure, but I think they still have openings. Might be worth your time. Thanks. I appreciate that.

Oh yeah, one other question......
When you put out a bunch of sets....like two or three dozen... how are you keeping up with where you put them? Do you use a GPS and mark each one that way. Would orange flagging around the set be a big no no?

Would orange flagging around the set be a big no no? i keep log book with each set lined out. When it got set, what bait/lure, etc. Good way to see what was working or not, plus at the end of a set you wont forget one.

You may want to ride over to Ramer and pick up everything but traps. Fleming is the only trapping supply store I know of in central Alabama. http://www.flemingtraps.com/800-624-4493 I appreciate that. I hate ordering stuff on the internet and would just assume buy it from somewhere I can put my hands on it. I'll definitely check that place out. I may ride over there in the next day or two.

Go ahead and get the MB-650 inside and outside laminated. It has a better pan system and a much larger kill area. The inside lamination makes it legal in Alabama. I was looking at those. What exactly does that mean that they're inside or outside laminated. I see traps that are inside...some that are outside....and some that are both.

Why not just buy K9 extremes. I'll never understand buying a MB 550 when I can buy the K9 extremes for the same price.

I found some pics of one of those sitting next to a MB-650. Looks like they're little beefier trap and have a much bigger trigger for the yote to step on.
