1.5 Victor long spring. Great nutria trap.

Dad gave me one of his 1 1/2 Victor long springs to use when he showed me how to make a pocket set for muskrats in the creek behind our house in Amsterdam, Ohio.

Was given 6 1.5 Victor CS by a trapper in 1979. Caught a coon the very first night I set them.

I told Al Barton I wanted to trap. He asked what I wanted to trap. Everything
in central Tx., I said. He sold me four #1.75 Victors.. 20 some odd years ago.
Still my favorites.

Wish I could remember,,

Bought some 110s in the late 70s trapped a
few muskrats

Number one victor longspring that i bought for 50 cents at hardware store. Rode five miles on bike to town. Started trapping norway rats by my rabbit pens

Double door live trap.

Victor #1 Long is from my grandfather, the #1 Jump I had to replace with the as new one because the one from grandfather was stolen. He gave them to me 1963, I still remember being in the garage when he showed me how to set them. Caught my first possum, coon and muskrat in the #1 Jump, looked for years for a replacement, paid what the guy was asking when I found it.

When I was about 12, I built a box trap for rabbits. Never caught a rabbit. Did catch a possum.

#2 Vic longsprings. I was only about 7-8 and not enough poop in my pants to compress the springs, so I'd stand on them..grab the jaws and pull to give me the weight to compress them and then push the jaws apart. When there's a will, there's a way! lol.

Victor #1 longspring, that my grandpa gave me.
Still have it, wired to a oak stake.

#1 and 1 1/2 victor jump traps. Got them from a neighbor that didn’t want them. Trapped rabbits and ground hogs. I was 10 yrs old at the time

First trap(s) ever were Duke #4 coil springs for beaver. Bought 12 Duke #1 1/2 double jaw, they were sold to me (local dealer) as being legal for land trapping, they weren’t.

So I bought some MB 450 off sets for fox and use the dukes for water trapping coons and muskrats.

These are my first traps, all retired now. I think I had 2 favorites #0 King Bee jump, and the Kompact #1 long spring
