The problem is coyotes have a keen sense of smell and know the cable is there even if they can't see it. Why else would they approach the "set" and then turn-away. Fresh snow tracks say it all.
My snares are 1/16 aircraft cable that was "dipped last season and sat outside all summer. These are used on the power rams.
Assuming it's a smell issue, how would I wax these snares...
Could they they be dipped in hot water wax....what about the Qwik Dip....will I loose the coloring ?

Since they have been hanging outside all summer I doubt that it is a smell issue. I would suspect it is a blending issue with the background cover from the coyotes point of view. IMO brown and white generally clash with background colors whereas a dull grey brownish green blends much better..
