Great vid, agree on the wax dirt. I use wax SAND, and swear by it for the extremes here in far northern Wisconsin. I am still a bit new to it all, but even with all the wax sand, I still have had the trap jaws freeze in at the outside edges and not fire,. I last watched a fisher shuffle all over my trap pans...so lately I am adding salt to the outside faces of my trap jaws at prep time. I saw you added antifreeze, that is key....I tried a technique where in prep time I dipped each trap in water and rubbed the outside of the jaws in a pile of salt, like making a margarita glass rim - it actually worked. Hopefully that’s the final piece of the puzzle for me.
How do you set traps in deep snow? Like 2 or 3 feet plus of snow. Have been looking but every video I've seen so far thst says setting traps in snow is usually just a dusting of snow.
