I have one but I can't set It and It's illegal to use In WI. But It's a well built trap.

So does the 850 have an 8.5" jaw spread? I get wolves, but what in the world else would one trap with those? If you say beaver, then I'll just ask if it's necessary, not trolling just curious.

8.5" outside, 8.0" inside, OS for wolf and lion, FJ for beaver. ... so the ads read. Alan Probst has a short video introducing them, in MT I think, says the law there is minimum 10lb pan tension. Thanks

I just talked to Mr Bill and he was In Ketchican Alaska not long ago and quite a few trappers had caught wolves In the 850 and were pleased with the traps performance. I think It was a trapper from Prince Of Wales Island that caught the first wolf In a 850. And Mr Bill has that wolf hanging In the office. Daniel Peters (sp)name comes to mind in our conversation.

Call Bill Duke and I'm sure he could give you names of persons that have caught wolves In the 850. If yo don't have the # PM me and I'll give It to you.

There is a quick trick of adding screw and nut on the pan will like most traps to get you to the pan tension weight you would like if you must have more the bent dog will give you. I did it to there 650s because 3.5 to 4 lbs is not enough for me trapping coyotes but I sold them I was scaleing back on traps. Red

Has anyone caught a wolf in one yet? Yeah, they've caught a bunch in them in Alaska. Haven't talked to anyone here in Idaho yet that has, but I know that time is coming.

Can you post a picture of the nut/bolt mod on the 650/850's?
