Is the third notch to hard for animals to set off? Do most of you use the first or second setting for dry land sets most of the time?

I almost always use the first notch. That said, I use Belises, almost exclusively.


Made it almost 3 years without censor!

First notch on trails, third notch in coni boxes for coons

First notch.On the ldl there is only one notch.
The reason the dogs have 3 notches is that you can file the 3 notches differently so the trap will fire more hair trigger on one and fire hard on the other for,say if you were setting in a current in water and you wanted a hard firing set,you could use the harder firing notch,and if your dealing with a hugger animal like a mink etc,at a baited set you can have a hair trigger option.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I used Belisles with pan triggers in boxes set on the last notch which requires the greatest pressure to set off to avoid firing by mice.


The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

On 330s, I use the notch closest to the jaw until the corner of it gets rounded off from wear over time. I then use the other notch until I have a chance to work on the worn notch on the vice.
In my experience, once a beaver commits to going through the trap, it does so eagerly, and trigger tension matters not.
