wolf creek products dogless # 2 any experience with them and what do you think? I would like to keep discussion to experience with these traps. thanks! need a trap i can afford, lol also reviews on super stakes with chains would be great. thanks for your help. I picked up two dozen. They're built a little stronger than I imagined for $99 a dozen. The "dogless," feature sticks up just a tad higher above the jaw then the Bridger 2's. The only complaint I've had so far. I'm going to be setting them for cats so I'm not real worried about modifications as of yet. I think if I was going to be going after coyotes you might want to laminate the jaws, weld the jaw tips, and possibly base-plate. I plan to run them bone stock without waxing or dying. See what they're made of. I love the fact that the pan sits well below the jaws.

I was given two by Glen couple weeks ago a #2 and #3 - Very nice trap - I placed a large stock order; hopefully, we receive and I'll make a few more sets this winter before breaking out the fishing poles. I think fox and coyote trappers are really going to like this trap. They are making this in a #3 as well??

I'm familiar with the Bridger #2 dogless and how they have sort of a convenient night latch to set the pan. Do these wolf creek dogless traps have a similar set up? Lift the pan the whole way up to lock the jaw down, then drop the pan til it clicks?

I had to adjust 1 pan out of the bunch(it was a little "hair trigger" ) and swap 1 end swivel that was backwards. Not a big deal. I'm glad I got them! I have them getting a quick degrease in the Dishwasher before the boss gets home from work.......wish me luck.

Posting for coon duke They set pretty flat with the pan pretty low on the 2s Wish the pan was a little bigger but oh well I cut the L off all Bridger type springs. It keeps coyotes from popping them and the loose jaw sets lower. I had to remove the pan bolt nut. I could t get it adjusted right. The bolt stud should be a little longer on the 2. It’s fin on the 3. I had to bend the pan to lower them by putting a screwdriver or rod under the shank and bending down I also popped the jaws and sanded the edges on a vertical belt sander. This smoothed them and lowered pan tension a bit. The pan notch needs some filing just like the old Monty dogless

Why do you only offer them for sale and advertise on FB ?

Just got a dozen of the wolf creek #2 dogless today. In full disclosure I have never used any of the old Montys and was not used to a pan setup and adjustment as these had so there was a little bit of a learning curve. I agree with everything Wolfdog laid out. -I had a few that I could not set out of the box without some adjusting and file work. The adjustment bolt could stand to be about 4-5 threads (about 3/16") longer, because by the time I had adjusted them out to where they would hold the nut was about 1/4 of the way off the threads. -The pan does sit really low between the jaws which I like. -The pan seems a bit small but because the pan sits so low it seems to limit the width due to the space between the levers. Although I may be able to add a little bit to the length. -The price point is great at about $8.33 per trap shipped to your door they are hard to beat, I was out in Grampian, PA today and told Sunderland about them and he seemed amazed at the price. All in all I am very happy with them I may have to do a little tinkering to get them right where I want them, but I think they are well worth it.

Springs seem pretty strong? How hard are they to set? Yeah, the springs are strong and they seem very fast! They were kind of a pain to set until I figured them out, but by the time I adjusted and set the 12th one I had it down. I was thinking about 4 coiling them until I got them, now I think 4 coiling them might be a bit much. I may leave them alone for a couple seasons before I start modding.

Ha ha. I agree that there seems to be a learning curve in setting vs a dog on trap for me anyways. If I can set em, anyone can set em.

Are the #3 traps listed here dogless?

Jaw tips look mighty short on that #3 X2. Definitely want to bubble tip those.

I wasn't going to 4 coil mine, but I'm not one to leave anything alone. I ended up using the Taos Lightening Spring Kit#7. Its the same kit used for Northwoods and Bridger #2s. It makes them pretty tuff to set but doable, They were fast before but now they are dangerous. I hope not to get my hands caught in these while in the woods or I might be stuck for a while.

When setting them hold one lever down with your knee and the other with one hand, then reach under the loose jaw with your free hand and push the pan up until it catches. That's how I set my dogless traps. Than way if it goes off for some reason you hand is not between the jaws. Happy trapping.
