Was wondering what night latching was and how you modify your trap for it??

Thats the only way we did it, notching the dog and trigger in the olden days before adjustment screws. My Dad wrote about it in his 1950's trapping tips booklets. Didn't call it Nightlatching or have any specific name for it in those days that I recall. Ace

It's call a "Miles trigger"..I did a pictorial on it in the archives..and YES it does give tension(adjustable)and a VERY crisp break.
