What conibear trigger shape do y'all use for mink and coon. Especially in boxes. Or do you use conibear pans and if so what ones do you use? Pictures would be great.

For 160s or 220s for coon, I like to have one wire straight down, all the way to one side, and the other wire is across the top, angled slightly downward. I do this to make the opening appear large.

160s for mink, I bend my wires into ( ) or wishbone shapes. For 110s or 115s, I'll set the standard BMI bell shape wires.


All trail set, I don't run buckets or boxes.

Don't have coon up here but use pan triggers for mink, marten and fisher with the trap recess into box 4-5" in front of the bait. Get consistent humane catches every time with this set up.



The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.
