Set them on the ground and use a knee to keep them open, nothing to it. It's even tougher when you're short chained to a drowning slide in quick sand- I use them all the time.

I got my left pinky caught in a Duke #3 a couple years ago and I was nearly puking cause it hurt so bad! The jaws caught me right where the lever pushes up on them. Hurts just thinking about it lol! Pulled my traps the next day cause I was too scared to get it caught again lol. Cold as ice!

Lol Never thought I'd see the day that a Northern Canadian Manitoba Trapper would be afraid of the water, won't walk on ice, or was too limp-wristed to set a beaver trap without the aid of accoutrements. Spineless Jellyfish we got here !!!

It's been awhile since I've used them but thought I'd see if I still could do it. Used a #114 and had no problems! Life Member NTA & FTA "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.

I didn't learn how to do that from watching The Bachelor. Last edited by Wild_Idaho; 02/15/20 11:12 AM. Real name Eric The sharpest hammer in the box of crayons.
