What’s everyone’s favorite dog proof, and why?

Looking to buy some more this year. Thanks

I use the Lil Grizz. But probably because when I bought them, they were the only one of that design type at the time. I don’t really think you could go wrong with any of them nowadays. Just a matter of preference to a pull only trigger or push/pull.

I still prefer the pull only. Just my opinion though.

X2 another trap design that's evolving good points on them all I have Dukes just because I bought a couple years ago to try and no issues with them so I bought more i have read that pull triggers are the way to go and maybe true but can depend on what you bait with and the amount

X3, The Grizz is by far my fav, you can't beat the springs and longevity. With that said, I did good this past season with some Diablos from Wolf Creek. That clean out door is handy!



I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Mine are Coon Collectors, some of the first made. I liked the one finger set and easy release of unwanted catch plus the clean out door was innovative at the time.
If I buy more they will likely be Coon Daggers, because if has all the good points of the Grizz and maybe some improvements. Improvements enough to patent.
Tell the truth, I don't use DP often, they are for those barn jobs.

I like the Ztrap but it's the only one I've used.

Ztrap. The two way trigger setup I prefer. Good strong springs also.

Is Z trap the one that is a patent infringement on the Coon Dagger ?

I have always been a fan of the Duke. But that being said, I sell a lot of the PCS Feather Lights in our website store too. Its honestly a matter of personal preference. They all catch coon extremely well.

What a memory. I'm not sure we can talk about that though.

I assume that is why it got brought up. It is a secret plot. laugh

I bought the Coon Daggers myself, out of respect for Carlis Stevens.

I like Carlis and I bought his SVS #4 too, that may be the best cat/coyote trap I've seen. That guy really is a trapper and I wish him the best.

I know we are off topic now, but...I was showing off them SVS traps yesterday to a couple of friends. I have 18 of them in 3 makes, and the last 6 were the cast jaw offset traps. And I have caught a cat in that trap now. I might buy a few more.

I just bought 5 dozen used SVS #4s just got them all tuned. I really like the way they operate, looking forward to putting them to work next year. Also just ordered some paddle fish oil from him
