Ok guys, I love trapping before and after a snow storm because of the low temps. I make wax sand, 50lbs at a time and have been too cheap to buy flaked wax. So I flake my own. It's a pain.
I have had wax dirt lock up so tight it won't let the trap fire (maybe it is too much wax?).
I hate running salt or antifreeze bc of what it does to the traps, and I personally think either can be smelled.
My new favorite is sifting peat , then storing in garage attack all summer to dry out. When done this way it acts as a great filler between the jaws to cut back on wax sand usage. I don't run pan covers or under covers. Occasionally use polyfill.
What about y'all? How you keep your set firing when temps are in the teens?
