Thanks everyone. I’ve been having a heck of a time deciding. I know it shouldn’t be that hard to decide, but it’s not like I’m buying a new truck, this is an important decision.

I use both Bridger & Duke #2 4coil OS w/dog for cats. I have some expose and covered sets that have connected. I think one of them this year was a toe catch that got away. Not enough left behind to know for certain if it was a cat or coon that stumbled into my set. I literally found 2 small phalanges and blood at the catch site but no discernible fur or claw. I plan to buy more #2's for next year. I felt #3's were more trap than I needed and they're more expensive.
I've seen guys on youtube who use 1.75 Bridgers for coyotes and cats all day long in PA & OH.
So, that's all I've got. Don't know if it helps your decision.

I bought a dz of the # 2 dogless, put jc Conner lams on the outside, put on a shock spring, used them for fishers. Really like this trap, caught fishers in them , no foot issues at all. I like the #2, I would get 6 of each n see which one you like better.

Some were extremely sensitive and needed tinkering. I've never set a trap that I haven't tuned first. Should be SOP.

Most offsets (bridgers especially) are too wide for cats in stock form. Pfff.
