Last year I was after a gray fox on the farms near my house. I was useing some old monty 1 1/2's. same traps I have on hair trigger and waxed. I went to set the fiorst one and it flipped on me and bam...right accross my thumb nail. no biggie. I reset the thing and it bedded, then coverd, went to move a leaf I didn't like and bam....same damned spot it had just got me a few minutes earlier. Made me say a few cuss words. Set the same trap again and as I was setting it in the bed it went off and got the same spot again. I about pissed myself. Hurt like the dickens by then. yanked that trap out and threw it across a fence. left for several days before I ever went to find it.
Took all winter for that thumb to heal. The nail came off about May.
And that is why I don't wax traps. haven't in years but thought I would a few traps last year for some reason.
