If the grounds soft I place the trap on my kneeling pad. Reach under with my fanger set the pan, bed the trap, out a there. No more sore thumbs , and more efficient. Common sense catches alot of fur.. Pay homage to all you harvest..

With my palms on the levers, I reach in with my index finger and lift the pan. I dont put a hand on the jaws at all. Easier than a dog on trap IMO. I bought a bunch of new 1.5 Dukes for rats once upon a time. After the second day, my thumb was ready to fall off from holding that dog down while setting those stinking things. Powerful little buggers when new. So much easier than the way I was doing it with the loose jaw in. Thanks for the tip!

I also have a k9 extreme and love how the pan sits below the jaws, but thats a lot of trap. I always had problems with bent dogs, and the dogless fixed it. Ive caught quite a few dogs in them this year and really like them. They get good pad catches and I have yet to have one fired and be empty.

As soon as you get the jaw past the pan notch, push up on the bottom of the pan attachment with your middle finger (pushing up where the pan drops below the cut out in the cross arm). Once you push the pan up and make contact with the jaw just let up on the levers and it is set. Extremely fast, no fumbling around reaching for the pan, and when you get used to it the trap is set as soon as you get the jaws open. Last edited by Nate Dawg; 02/04/18 11:32 PM.

The Bridger dogless sets easier to me than a dog on trap Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service
