My 2 trapping buddies and I have caught 100's of bobcats in 1.75 DCS. The main reason for using this size is for other states that require offset or padded jaws on #2 or larger. 1.75's dcs will also hold lions and bears. Just saying from 50 yrs experience.

^^^^^ yes sir, my wanting to use a smaller trap 2-3 dbls vs 4 is weight for packing in a long distance plus I trap on state land this also concerns me with rabbit hunters in the area, #4 dbls would be a headache for a houndsman....
Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes......
Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....
