Question asked by Reuben
for wolf traps what is a good setup for chain and swivels?
I've seen some pics with cable attached to the trap, would this work for wolves or would they be likely to bite the cable in half?
I am going to try for them next year so I would like any input.
thanks

use MB (Minn Trapline Prod) 750 wolfer's Double laminated with the offset jaws. Then I have 10 foot of chain with MB crunch proof swivels every 3 feet!



I know it seems like overkill but I don't want to be the guy who has wolverine tracks approaching a set and no trap or fur to show for it!

I set that bad boy with my feet in flip flops.....



Here's my Lynx set up, a #4 DLS with plenty of chain and swivels to hold anything!

That's about what I run, but I won't set a wolf trap without the swivels being welded shut - looks like yours aren't.

I have quite a few burnt areas and just grab one from there, next year I'm going to try a log out of the wood stove and while still coals singe a bunch of stupid chichen feathers over it and try.

In the AKA wolf trapping manual an editor'note say one of the best wolfers in AKA Danny Grangaard has wrote an article in the Alaska trappers magazine 1984 november issue about his various wolf trapping methods.Where can i get a copy of this issue or do someone having it will want share this info with us?

ATA I think has back issues for sale.

Paysho,

You can call the Cutting Edge (ATA retail outlet) and ask about that specific issue.
