330-Trapper trapper Joined: Dec 2006 Minnesota	Originally Posted by cohunt I think you are correct 330-Trapper but I really prefer not to catch them by a foot to begin with. Tried many options and for my wants, including how I prefer to treat my catches, we went to cages for as many applications as possible. I do not need super strength or tight jaws for any of my other uses. I have ripped my fingers(sometimes more than a finger) out of many body grippers in my lifetime with just some bruises. Could type much more but will not. I understand...its all good! NRA and NTA Life Member www.BackroadsRevised@etsy.com

Because of that pan the fox get its head in far enough the trap jaw was behind its ears. It wasn't dead but it couldn't go anywhere. I dont use them any other place but marten boxes. I rarely set a mink trap and for 110 in a rat run I never saw a benefit. Like drags though they really shine in SOME situations.

I can definitely see what cohunt described occurring on the larger opening 160 and 220 traps.With the 155 trap the skunk I catch using the expand a pans triggers are head shoulder catches and d.o.a.

If I catch a civet by the neck about half the time they are still alive when I get there. I also catch the occasional cat with them and it seems to work just fine on them. My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Then just bend the trigger wires and slid them into the holes. Lightweight and cheap to make. Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

I have some of the wood ones on some 120's and 220's. They work but take up quite a bit of space on the 120's though. Last edited by backroadsarcher; 05/14/24 09:45 PM.
