How do you set your traps? I can't do mine because I'm not strong enough to get it down with my hands.

Hands, feet, elbows, knees, just do whatever it takes. It doesn’t really matter as long as they’re set.

What type of trap... Long spring, Coil Spring or Conibear style and what size 1, 2, 3, or 110, 220, or 330... There are setters made for types and sizes.

Lift the loose jaw to engage dog with pan notch. This way you're working under the jaws of the trap and not between them.

Trap setters will save your hands and makes it go faster I use em for dps and coils. Great for after it gets super cold out
