I was going through some old photobucket pictures and though perhaps some of the new trappers here would like to see them.... ~ADC~ Last edited by ~ADC~; 07/10/17 10:11 PM.

Does it close better that way with the cable in line with the cam rather than having the end of the cable passing through the side cam with a nut hammered? I hope that makes sense.

I haven't looked at this before now, my bad, what a cool teaching tool. Jim Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I use mostly Victor #1 1/2's with extra chain, 2 swivels and a tree-branch drag. Works really well for Mink, Muskrats and Coons in the Water. And Coons, Red and Grey foxes on Land. I use Foothold "Blind" sets almost Exclusively. I have some Great Advice for Trappers that would like to really "Tune-Up" their Foothold traps before the Fall 2025 season also.
