Y'all reckon 32" is too short for a double door trap ? I had this old one I built a while back that never worked right so I salvaged it while working on this trigger system. . looking at it though I'm thinking for anything bigger then a possum or coon it's just gonna be too short what do y'all think ?
10.5 wide 15 tall 32 long

If the doors were powered it might better for coon and groundhogs . I think with the way the trigger is set up, it looks biased towards one side of the trap, if you can set the trap with the the longer travel side lining up with the direction of travel, you might have better odds.

Yeah a good 1/3rd of the pan is actually dead coming from the left door in the first pic.
