I've got both the extremes and juniors, both stout traps. The extremes mud up in some soil types, lost one coyote but I think it was toe caught and it twisted out because of the 1/4 inch offset. Could be wrong. The extremes are a great snow trap and if we ever get a wolf season they would be great for midwest wolves. The Juniors fit my style better, 6 inch jaw spread is Ideal for yotes and occasional fox in my mind, but cant get the pan tension below 2.5 even when waxing the contact points. Our red fox here average 8 pounds so if I can't get 2 # pan tension I see tracks on my pans. Love the adjustable dogless design on both. Don't know how they would be on extended checks. Both paw freindly. All mine are 4 coiled and outside lams. The coating on my Extemes are wearing great but not with the Juniors, flaked off in a few spots. For straight coyotes the Juniors fit..  Good write up, Gary! The good, the bad, and the ugly. I need to talk to you a bit more about the jr's. I have a couple thoughts about pan tension I want to throw at you.

TN cat . Company said it is usa made steel but sometimes I have my doubt . Like everything we buy You can have them supply the steel certifications, we do with all steel & components.... All steels have a range of the different composition levels, tensile strength, and elongation, so even if they fall into the specs. they can still act somewhat different when you form them.

The DPs and the 1.5s are made overseas, I have a couple dozen of the DPs and they are better than my R-traps and Duke DPs. His 1.5 is top notch, the levers and pans are thicker than anyone else's and his prices are great on the traps themselves but the shipping sucks but that isn't Kendall's fault.

His Jr's and Extremes are American made. Kendall told me this at the convention last summer. I am presuming the beaver traps are too.

No BS Traps American made
Jake Traps American made Add Sterling MJ 600s and you got the 3 best traps being made right now in my opinion. I will second that. I got a dozen Extremes after talking to Kendall at Minktoberfest last year and I will be ordering more after using them this season.
