I was looking for opinions on the Bridger offset #3 dog on. Cabela's had them for 89.00 per dozen.

Here is the price on the regular jaw. The offsets are sold out now.

Good luck with that.

I bought five dozen and they are on their way. I was wondering if anyone uses them. I plan on modifying them with a baseplate and laminates. LLL

When did you buy them

This morning around 5:30. Got the confirmation number by email. LLL

I bought mine yesterday and got a confirmation email then they sent another one saying backordered.

Sounds like a great deal, I still use some mainly for bobcat, but catch a lot of coyotes with them to, will get a lot of bent dogs. Wish they had that deal on dogles#3's I would be ordering.

That is a great price! I have some Bridger # 3 offsets and a bunch of Northwoods #3 offsets which are identical. They are a good trap.

My favorite coyote trap, I fully modified them,
Thinking of selling some of them to try some extreme traps

How about the standard jaw for yotes? Could I weld a bubble on the jaws for an offset? LLL

Up

You could, but the standard jaws work fine, IF you laminate them. I HIGHLY recommend laminating the jaws on them. Even if you have a 24hr check it will help with foot damage

Looks like they are no longer available. That sucks, I have a 50 dollar gift card so I could have got them for about 50 buck with the free shipping. Guess I am stuck with the dogless 2's that I have.

Congrats on your deal.

I ordered the regular jaws at $99, got message they are on backorder for me.
The offsets have a little too much gap for my liking. The pins come nice and long so easy peasy to four coil them.
The regular jaw models is a decent beaver trap too. Actually a little larger jaw spread than a #4 long has.
Anyway, the #3 is a real nice coyote and cat trap.

Ran two dozen and sold them all after one season. Multiple bent dogs with single coyote catches. Too much trap for our coons. When targeting coyotes I'd often catch incidentals by the back leg. It never ended well. Great price, but I've come to the conclusion nothing I catch here in Southeast Nebraska needs more than a #2, and the dogless or MB550 hold up much better to coyote abuse. Simply my opinion.

Bridger #3 Offsets modified are my main trap when i'm trapping coyotes and coon.

I have added heavy dogs to them, and don't have any trouble with the bent dogs now.

Wade I don't seem to have much trouble with back foot caught coons and damage to them.

I was able to get some ordered from Cabelas on the cheap too, used all my Cabelas points so it didn't cost any money out of my pocket.

Corey where did you get the heavy dogs at? LLL

Heads up guys, they cancelled my order from monday, after a stern conversation with their online live chat employee I was able to get my order reinstalled, but back ordered. If they pull this on you, do not take no for an answer.
