Using 1.75 size traps has the great advantage of wolves self releasing, most times anyway.

Swivels are the key and short chains.

We have been all over the map on this thread,but the original question was the best yote trap . Not multi purpose trap. I love the 550 and I see no reason to bash the other 2 choices mentioned or the users of them.

Andrew N., I just did a User List search for Mark June and he is no longer listed as a member. SAD! When you have an expert, biologist, life-long trapper run off by some hill-jack that couldn't carry Mark's trappers bag! Well done!

The Traps I've tested always have the same chain/swivel setup. I've virtually run the same chain/swivel setup since the 80s. Traps do vary.

Well that's to bad but If you can't stand the heat.
I know Mark and He Is a stand up guy and he's been around for awhile.

I may be wrong but I just think being a trapping supply dealer and posting on a trapping forum may be a bit of a conflict of interest. You don't see Clint lockleer or Tim Caven or for that matter Mr Dobbins Or Mr lennon getting all involved In these posts.
Like I said I may be wrong In that line of thinking but that's how I feel.

How do you get chased off trapperman,I thought you had to be kicked off.
Seems kind of wimpy.

This all reminds me of trying to heard house cats. Or a bunch of gossiping children. It's ashame that someone with vast knowledge is not appreciated and RESPECTED by his peers. If you all were such great trappers you would be out scouting or gaining more permission, etc.etc. As for me I have an appointment with a man that owns 6,000 acres and then a meeting with the road commission to verify my contract for beaver control. If you mission is to ruin Tman then have at it!

over and out


Common sense catches alot of fur..
Pay homage to all you harvest..

He told paul guys like hobbie trapper and coon grease ran him off. I hope hobbie trapper and coon grease gain a ton of experience they'll need to fill the hole mark left with his knowledge and experience for all the new guys wanting to learn. On the other hand they may not care about passing on info or helping people out. They only want to be RIGHT in any stupid argument.

At the end of this, mark is gone. So let's get over this and move on to next subject. We aren't even talking about traps anymore.

Ok
When WI was trapping and collaring wolves back about 100 years ago they went to using #14s with teeth. they had less foot damage with traps with teeth then traps with out.

If I'm not mistaken that guy sells his "knowledge".
Why would he give it out for free on here?

Look at some US wildlife agencies reports jaguar collaring program . MT. Uses Lpc 7 for collaring wolves here rubberized teeth . Gov. Trappers use mb750 with nobs welded in them here when asked to collar wolves in montana.
Might look at Livestock protection Company I believe they have some stuff interest for you 2 traps

Toothed traps were used for research with good results until recently . The teeth served two purposes ,they let the liquid drain and reduced edema, and the feet don't slide from side to side and get cut . Thus the trapped wolf has a better, healthier foot.
I believe the researchers went to rubber jaws, but I bet they will go back to teeth, rubber jaws wrap around and stop circulation.
Sometimes old technology is best. And us trappers don't know anything. Lol

14 Newhouse are offset with teeth. Perfect wolf trap for Midwest wolves. Maybe small for Alaska type wolves.
