So if you don't think Kirk has any possible sense, how come I can take 2 cage traps (different makers) baited identical 5 feet apart in a shed and one will out catch the other hands down? He shares much information on here, whether or not you choose to try it or dismiss it as Hocus pocus I believe he deserves some respect which has really gone down hill on here. Dead horses get beat up on trapper talk.

Dead horses get beat up on trapper talk. I'd say because the animal decided to walk into one over the other. The rest is just a guess.

Well, I checked all mine with a magnet. And sure enough, every last one of them was attracted to it. No wonder my catch has been off!
Just doing what I want now.

OP, how are you measuring the magnetic field of the 330? He uses a magnetometer phone app. You can search for for a free one on your phone. I believe Kirk's studies have merit but there are a lot of factors that have to come into play for the field to matter. Depending on your method of trapping, the age of the animal, the kind of animal, soil conditions, and the area you live all make a difference. Knowing some of this may give you an advantage in certain situations or weather conditions.

I’ve got a HEX suit and that thing is wicked good. I sometimes just wear it and sit feet away from my coyote sets and literally watch them get caught. I’ve also killed a pile of deer with a knife while using it.
Some days I think I could trap anything anytime. Others I wonder if I’ll ever make another catch...

Kirk's book on this topic is not about selling a solution to the magnetic field vs traps phenomenon. Its an in-depth explanation about what he has discovered. You, the trapper, after reading the book, can make your own decisions or any changes to your equipment.
Kirk is the most critical thinker I've ever met. Where most of us just shrug off thoughts or ideas Kirk breaks em down and expands on em.
Btw, he has killed mind-boggling numbers of beaver and otter. And engineered several models of the slickest mechanical, spring-loaded door cage traps made.

You mean after BUYING his book and reading you can make your decisions on equipment, like I said earlier he's only posting on this subject to sell his book and since he started another thread on this subject I can only assume they are not selling. As for all the animals he has trapped , I don't see anyone arguing that but it's not like other trappers in this country haven't caught as Many or more then him without worrying about magnetic fields.

I have a hard time believing that the majority population of any species associates a magnetic field with danger...even if they can detect the field. I like "outside-the-box" thinking; so I bought the book. I don't believe Kirk ever said "the majority population of any species associates a magnetic field with danger". I could be wrong, but I don't think he said that. what I remember is the idea that SOME individuals will choose another route if they detect a spike in magnetism in one path, versus another. have you ever visited a place and thought :"man, something just doesn't FEEL right about that place."? You didn't say, "I think there's danger there" ...I think it's the same kind of deal.
