Neither is a serious beaver trap and yes Rob is right.
Get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.

coonman, I had pretty good success catching beaver in Duke #4s last year, sending them down a cable. While definitely not ideal they worked on my budget. This year I'm running Victor #4s LS Sleepy Creek #4 LS and Bridger #5s CS. That said, in my novice opinion the Bridger #3 is a far superior trap to the Duke #4 but I only use it on coyotes.

That look like a Bridger 3? Or is it 5? Can't rember a foot that far in on a 3 on hind foot, on 3, caught bunch beaver on Bridger 3 coil, have also toed a few, the longs take up to much room at most sets, it was posted somewhere that get more toe catches in longs? How could that be ? I never like the 2 mb750 I had an sold, didn't have trap setter an couldn't set by hand. Didn't like short chain an reach in an pull down pan till hear click

It's a Duke #4. Personally I haven't experienced more toe catches in the long springs. I turn them sideways though, with the dog to the side of beaver's suspected approach.
