How long is the dog on a #3 bridger? From center of the eye to the end is the measurement I need. Thanks.

Better get you some new bolts for attaching them pans. That dip is hard on them.

I've added # 9 wire on the top of my trap dogs prevent coyotes bending them

Wind River.

Also on the dog you can make a MB style dog out of a 20d nail.

And for the regular dog on a #3, cut the head and tail off an 8d nail and weld it to the top of the dog. Works great.

I looked st Wind River pans. Thats not what were going for here. MB style = Autible Click when you set them . Is what were going for = thats the reason for the Expand A Pan = with a MB style dog.

I am a big fan of pit pans on the Bridger #3s


If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.
