No doubt it will help with freezing down when set in wet snow or dirt, but it will also catch water coming down from above when it rains or snow melts, making freezing worse then.


Nope from what im seeing all this is custom made for him. Dude even bends the jaws on a press after their cnc cut.

Actually think the Andy wiesner's pictures. The trap was build by a Montana wolf trapper for his needs and seems everyone who used it loves em but mainly think most if those guys are from there and the surrounding states.

The few I've heard from about them, liked them and spoke highly of them. Just from looking at the pictures I spoke about what I didn't like about the trap.

For my needs in a wolf trap:
#1 a loose jaw.
#2 levers or springs stout enough to not be crushed under an animals jaws
#3 as close to a 9” jaw spread as possible. Size does matter.
#4 a simple dog or pan engagement. Cold hands and time matter.

The trap shown doesn’t fill my needs.

The Alaskan 9 and Koro does.
