Less chance of the dog kicking the foot out of the trap was the trap closes. I've recently picked up a few Bridger dogless traps to try out.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

There is no dead spot on the dogless trap. Enough pressure on any part of the pan on the dogless will fire the trap. The dog is a dead spot on a dog on trap.

JMO you can make a traditional trap perform like a dogless but it takesa bit of tuning and guiding therefore the dogless traps are a little more forgiving and seeing a greater demand.

The ones caught deep in the corner are in slanted trench sets. 99% are either caught like that or double front footed. That ankle catch was at a pipe set and I’ve seen quite a bit of rolling on my pipes while testing lures. You might be right yes sir.

Fewer misses, no dead spot, screen. But I prefer the tension to be adjustable with a tension screw that stays were I adjust it. Great examples Yoteguts. Double back paw? weird.

The Bridger dogless traps do have adjustable tension pans. True but I was referencing Montanas, old Monties and Vic Monties , etc. ..Dogless Bridgers do have a bigger pan than most. I prefer the pan to be below jaw level. More screen friendly.
