Snare One is selling the Sauvageau bodygrip traps, and was wondering if anybody has used them, has pictures of them in use. Considering buying a #550 and a #440 and comparing them. Can't use a trap with a jaw spread 13" or over here in AK. Got a few beaver locations where the beaver shy away from any blocking, but catch them using just a #330 with two thin support sticks, figure the bigger Sauvageaus would fill up the runs better since I use no fencing.

They are a trap that will last you a lifetime.Also the LDL.I use mostly LDL's but I have a couple of original prototype sauvageau marten traps from 1989 That I got for a field tests on a Marten study,and the springs are as strong today as when I got them.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

How is the trigger on the Sauvageau different than on a Duke? Never seen one, and would like to know. Would be neat to see pictures. does anybody know of U. S. stores that sale them? I've only been able to find one store in the U. S. that carries them, "Snare One".

Dave from YouTube (Trappers World) uses them in some of his videos. He likes them. I am going to order some Sauvageau 330's from The Snare Shop and add them to my inventory.

They are extremely well made..You know you got a quality product in your hands when you pick them up.I bought 24 of them originally.one was stole the 1st week I set them.I think I had 3 empty fired traps in all the time I have had them.Taken a least 1200 hundred nusiance beaver in them with no repairs.One area I do work in a 3 inch rain raises water 12 feet as all the drains are tied into that waterbody.Those traps take a beating when they get submerged like that.Only thing I don,t like is they are speed-dipped.

Be careful with the cable attachment clips that go on the spring. I had one pull apart on me. Luckily I caught it and pulled the trap before I caught anything in it.

I am looking at getting a half dozen as well as a half dozen belisle 330's to try when I can part with the money.
Like the MB 750's, I just got to see for myself if they are as good as advertised.

I finally got some Sauvageaus, and trapped with one this past season. I purchased a new 220 to start off with, and my trapping partner and I set it for marten. It caught 4 in two months. Love the 4 way trigger on them. After the season ended, I traded a Canadian member for (3) of their 11x12's and (5) of their 160's. Looking forward to using them this coming season.

I never have gotten any. I wish I would have because I heard that the price recently skyrocketed. I believe I heard that here on Tman.
