When closed the deepest part of the V is the tightest same goes for the trap jaws when closed. It may not be much but It will be tighter. The forum Know It All according to Muskrat

I live trapped for 12 years In the south and It did help with cutting down on injuries. And we always checked early and some times even twice. You didn't what any $100.00 fox to be rejected for any reasons. The forum Know It All according to Muskrat
