Alternatives for freeze proofing footholds,ran out of flake antifreeze and need idea's to what I may sub with,have sets being hit,but gear not firing,any help would be appreciated,thanks Peter
i ended up using coal shale when i ran out of wax dirt.worked pretty good. if your in pass, theres a couple spots you can fill buckets just off the side of the road.
a train derailed not far from my house. thats where i got mine. after they did the cleanup.
Would glycerin work on foot hold traps? It's scent free and has a very low freezing point.
I don't know of anyone using glycerin,but glycol yes,salt works but then you have to worry about rust,gonna do some salt for now and get some more powder or flake antifreeze,glycol is expensive,thxs for hints guys,cheers Peter
i found that salt was a real deer magnet.even the sidewalk salt(calcium chloride). alot of deer around here.
don't have any foot traps out right now. when i pulled the sets. was surprised how well the traps that where just bedded well, in the coal shale, fired. nothing extra.and did catch a couple with it.
had some in peatmoss. none of them worked.
with the bigger traps. it didn't take long to run out of wax dirt. i can see i'll need alot more next season.
