Let me add to this mix...lol

I've used the MB750 OFFSET with 4-5 pounds of pan tension and have had little of no problems....even on front foot catches. Again trap positioning as others have said and pan tension is important.

Strong springed, large jaw spread, well swiveled trap equates to good beav medicine.

I've found the laminated beaver foothold traps will hold beavers by the hind foot, but not all of them. The pullout rate is not high, but it's high enough that I don't want to deal with it.

A fur trapper has the luxury of being able to leave a beaver here and there and actually many try to. However, when you're contracted to take every beaver from every colony every time, catching the same beaver that pulled out is time consuming and not profitable.

TLC, I also experimented with adding stronger springs and it did help the laminated traps a lot.

DUKE 1 1/2's are the way to go I'm telling ya! lol




i had to try the laminated 750's ... just cause \:\) for the most part i'm gonna stick to my ol' regular jaws


i use 750's for front foot catches too ... thought it might be a good thing? for front foot i think it just might help.




Skip the feet ... book and video on this "by the tail" method coming soon ;\) )
