We'll I'm a little tight on funds this year, I'm sure I'm not alone, but i'm wondering if these things are even worth messing with or not. I've got plenty of 1.5 and could convert them over and not miss them. Let me know what you think, Thanks.

Thanks otis, just seems like a good way to get some dog proof's and save alittle cash as well

Yea, i turn all the little guys loose when i can, what do you mean about the clothes pins, Never even seen one of these things except for the internet. Thanks

I run alot if blackholes an have real good luck with them.Make sure to put a piece of rubber hose over the trigger to take the metal feel of it an they work good.

You can run an 4 inch thin molly bolt through a hole in the base and anhor it. Also a thin rubber band on the loose jaw will keep the loose jaw in place if the coon should dig it up,then the trap will still catch the coon. Got this from the guy that makes them...Tom

I heard a few guys say they used a T bar stake to anchor them just slid a piece of the trap under the tbar and that worked, any of you tried that?

They replace your pan and work like a dog proof trap, they have a tube the coon has to reach down to pull up on the trigger to set it off.

could someone post a pic of this please

yes i made up some u shaped pieces of#9 wire to pin the trap down, when lost after a catch i improvised and used the t bar to hold trap in place worked great. i didnt hold the loose jaw down on mine no problems yet but only one seasons use.

just curious TJ what brand traps are you using them on?

I was going to try them on the duke 1.5's and see how they did, I'm going to try these in an area that has alot of pet traffic, and I've got a few dp traps, but wanted a cheaper alternitive to add a few on the line

I know coon prices will be down this year, but this area is over run and i know disease will start to take them if i don't.
