Maybe try a small stout stick to brush it out from underneath? Edit...flip the loose jaw up so you arent in between.

Is it just me or do other people not understand a dang thing he says? You don't speak Coonman? He said it all in the first sentence....The rest is he don't want to pinch his fingers.....I think.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

I like reading his posts,,but before I will click on one of his posts,I wack down a couple belts of whiskey first,,so even if I still cant comprehend it,,I still get a laugh. ADC usualy comes in and translates it into English for us.THEN,,we give him our advise on the topic,,and he ignores everything we advised.Same thing every time.

Am I the only one who is wondering about the new 5-coil? I thought 4-coils were overkill. Never heard of this 5-coil thingy, but I've been out of the loop for awhile. I will make an attempt at translation,,probly means a #5 coil spring.But what do I know.I haven't been drinking YET.

You’re asking us if it’s a bad idea to stick your finger under the pan of a set trap.
Man do you really need to ask that question?
Coonman, do you think it’s a good idea? It’s only good if you don’t get caught!!
There’s lots of times where I put my hands where they shouldn’t be (trapping related) but I never asked. I knew!

Sand well stop trap fire, I always clean under pan as parnoid it not fire, when u bed it, clog up mud, ya I don't think this liquidy stuff need be clean daily, sand is different story , ya should have more respect for a no 5 trap , never handle them much

I never clean out under the pan in a set made in water. Ever. Anything that squeezes up from under the trap is going to be way too soft to worry about. Especially when setting for beavers. They will have no trouble tripping the trap. Not if you're trapping where there's alot of sand. Sand will pack under the pans like cement and the traps will not spring even if you jump on them and we have short throw triggers. In one area we trap 50 to 75 percent of the traps would be sanded in due to the waters motion. He tried leaves and plastic as pan covers and nothing worked UNTIL he started using polyfill under the pans. Now instead of 50 to 75 percent of his traps being sanded in in that area he has 99 percent workable traps at each check. .where before absolutely 50 to 75 percent would regularly be sanded in. And the more workable traps you have the better your chances at catching more fur.
