No idea. My 750s have the horizontal dog, while my 650s both laminated and cast jaw have the vertical dog. I liked the vertical dog better but don't think it really makes a difference. I've had a wolf bend the horizontal dog on a 750 so I had to bend around on it with pliers to reset. But woofs are pretty hard on dogs of any design. I've had them bend the rod on a 750 so they have to be replaced also.

Picked up a few pocket gophers today and one skunk. Have an order for a few put up skunk tails for fly tying. Shouldn't take long to fill this order the way things are going this week.

Repaired a weasel box run over by a snowmobile last winter. Adjusted pans on my coilsprings to "minkerize" them.

Painted 2 dz snares and walked around our duck pond picking up feathers for bobcat flagging. Ended up with about 50 feathers 10 to 12” long.

Now don’t laugh but worked on this early this morning. My coon stuff is now officially locked and loaded, ready for Dec. 1st start.
Bucket of 160s cabled to stands, check.
Crate of DPs with berk cable anchors attached, traps waxed, check.
Container of dry cat food with molasses mixed in for DP bait, check.





3s and 2s ready to go, same Dec. 1 start date. Might be a few other sizes and models in here too. Got one beaver spot so thus the 330 in back. Check.
Also bundle of #9 stiff wire for snare supports all ready too, check.





And because I didn’t have much time to put up enough waxed dirt this summer, one excellent dude on this forum by handle of Coyote Chaser sold me and was awesome enough to deliver to my house these two filled to the brim buckets of the good stuff. Thank you sir!!!



Later all,
Jim

Most land animals open 10/25. Water 11/1. Early for prime. Plus my boys are deer hunting my property and neighbors (800 acres). I haven’t done a darn thing. So there! Busy getting 7 cord of wood in cellar plus 5 cord in sugar house. Standard cord. So there! lol

Pondered!

I worked out some details on my floats for rats


Now I need to make a few dozen of them. With a few adjustments

Why the single trap if you don't mind me asking? We've always ran 2 traps on one.

Youth Trapper, I was just figuring out a pattern for them. I need rough cut lumber so I have room for the chain under the trap. And there will be 2 traps on a 36" 2X6, these are for moving water.

Did some ADC work today. A bit early than I like but it needs to be done.

Nice, I usually just set them right on top of the board but I also don't have moving water. I just use 2 2x4 at 24" and a 1x12/1x13 at 24" and set the trap between the two upright 2x4s and those have worked well.

Released ANOTHER bear. I can’t wait for them to go to sleep.

Gonna be a bit yet. Lol. Hopefully you have to wait at least a week, since I got bear hunters to guide this week. After the 9th though I hope it is bedtime for them.

Put some trap tags on some new steel today.

Went to the Cabin,cleared some trai,put up a bit of dry wood,scouted a bit for beaver,and shot a few grouse.

Had to move traps out of the flower bed so the wife could put down pine straw.

Made a few more beaver boards from some plywood the neighbor gave me. Some friends stopped by to drop of some traps that have been hanging in their shed for quite awhile and thought I could put them to use. Spent a few hours going through the pile this evening.

Any good finds? On the other hand, I put about 3-4 ft of chain on all of my muskrat footholds, scouted out the slough I'm starting on and found a few feed beds and huts.

scouted a bit. Put up some nice fat bullheads. Of course wife and I caught a mess of perch and gills for dinner. Still tomatoes in garden. Heaver frost should come soon!
