I have a pic of it open and was wondering if someone could pm me with an email address so I could send the pic and would look at it to see if it's all there. I'm thinking of taking it to a Escanaba and trading it for something. Thanks

I believe the people at livetrap build them. Trap is pictured on that link. Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. -Gustav Mahler

I believe the Bailey beaver trap, like the Hancock beaver trap, has been remodeled. I think the original Bailey trap was replaced by the Model 801 Tomahawk beaver trap. However, spare/replacement parts for both models should be available from Tomahawk Instructions for SETTING THE BAILEY BEAVER TRAP are at http://www.livetrap.com/images/instructions/Beaver_Trap.pdf Video for Setting a Model 801 Tomahawk Beaver Trap- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItzRRxURckM Note to self- Engage brain before opening mouth (or hitting the ENTER key/SUBMIT button).

Basically squeeze the spring together and place the trigger over the end of it. I've modified mine by adding extra height to the trigger wires. We have extended check times if sets are made to drown and the extra trigger height allows for setting in deeper water. Also welded a bent washer to the other side of the sheet metal trigger. It creates and upside down T instead of an L. Makes the trap fire easier regardless of direction of travel. I've added 9" of PVC pipe over the slide cables. That helps keep the cables moving freely while sandwiched between the fencing and the support arms. Older models have chain running out to the dogs. They are heavier and primarily made of steel. Newer models use aluminum construction and cables instead of chain. Last edited by wildflights; 07/01/18 02:01 PM. Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. -Gustav Mahler
