I put on my thinking cap and came up with 2 possible ways this may be a functional tip. As presented, I think it’s off, but.. 1) The thin bark that forms a loose sleeve around a decomposing branch is used like leaves to block out debris; or 2) a person were to use a pan-width length of very rotten/soft branch.


Soft enough to crush when stepped on as to not prevent firing. Short enough to not interfere with the jaws closing.

I just don’t think putting a stick between the jaws is a tip that beginners should pick up and run with. Pine is soft, but it’s not thatttttt soft, unless it’s been breaking down a while.

I’m still trying to figure out how a stick keeps out dirt better than polyfil. I’ve left traps in the deck for 4 straight weeks that fired after 5-7” of rain or more during that time frame and the trap still fired. No we don’t have freeze thaw conditions here.

Boone, I precut 3000 sticks of the perfect length and diameter for montanas for optimal pan jamming I’ll let you have a couple if you’re interested.

For those that doubt, Louisiana led the world in trapping for so long, even 30 years of relative non trapping hasnt been enough for you guys to catch up. We caught in 1 year, what it would take the other top state 4 years in muskrat. We wiped out muskrat, beaver, alligator, wolf, cougar, jaguar, bear. If the old timers down here tell you a method, its tried and true. They made due and figured out how to use what was available in nature at the time. They had to go everywhere by pirogue, and trapped marsh, swamp, forest, muddy bottom, sandy bottom, the list goes on and on.

Aix's post breaks it down perhaps better for some, I dont use it all the time but it will be in my toolbox for a later date.

Can you do a demo vid? I think that would clear up the confusion.

If you build an aerated decomposition pond, you could produce perfectly rotted sticks with great efficiency. Then it is just a matter of the proper species for each trap, soaking in glycerin to keep them from drying out, and packaging in hermetically sealed quart jars for distribution. Why make billions when you can make millions?

Only one way to settle this Matt, a state vs state trap-off bracket tournament. Get your sticks ready, I’ll get some pan covers.

Lot of the old tried and t rue methods didn't work the way they thought they worked. Or the method was just completely irrelevant(which is what I believe this "method" is, its irrelevant) to why they caught they way they did.

If you can post pictures or a video as promised then we can stop guessing about what the actual method your talking about is.

When he first started posting I thought it was Savell or Jtrapper trying to create another coonman.

No intentional sticks in the jaws for me.
