Yeah a spot for a tiny glow rod. When the trap fires it gets hit and emits its green glow for the trapper to see in the dark hours. Doubtful anyone else would pick up on that quickly Maybe a text message?

For me, it's definitely Bridger fully modified dogless 3. I'm not very accustomed to them, but I set 1 this weekend & did notice how especially easy it bedded.

Monty dogless #3's offset modified are a great rig and they have exactly the 5 3/8 inside jaw spread legal in my area. If I didn't have those restrictions, I'd have to be Jakes. Just awesome in every way imo

I like the MB550 and Bridger 1.65 for cats. For coyotes i like to very different traps.......The No-BS KO K9 Extreme Jr, and the MB450 haha. Very different traps. I was a strickly MB450 guy for coyotes but then got a couple K9 extreme jrs and man they are a nice trap. The next trap on my coyote list would probably be a Coyote Cuff.
If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

Lately I've been using some Montgomery #3 dogless, after setting them up for pan tension, they are super good traps. Also made in the USA

I didn't know Montys are made in USA.
I sure like dogless traps.
I like 4 coiled traps for coyote, generally speaking, but sometimes, at least with some traps, it seems like the swivel doesn't want to lay down nice under the trap & makes it harder to get the ever important firmly bedded trap

How do you set the pan tension on those dogless Montys It's all about the angel on the contact point, go slow, it doesn't take much filing. . X2 the 650 is my go to for late season and snow. My favorite snow blind set trap by far..
Common sense catches alot of fur.. Pay homage to all you harvest..
