What’s your favorite trap? Maybe list your top three cause I know situations call for different sets / different traps. Mine would be the sleepy creek #11, Belisle 330, and the KO K9 4 coil offset laminated. Absolute favorite would be the KO K9 though.
Why do I carry 10mm? Because shooting twice is just silly.

Really like my MB450’s for fox and the occasional coyote, duke 1 1/2’s for mink, coon and the occasional rat. Really like Montgomery #2 dog less for the pan height when making bigger blown out dirt holes.
life is good......

I'll admit i'm a round jaw fan, just what i got used to. For canines i have many favorites, any of the 550s, montana #2s, Victor #3s, Sleepycreek #3s among others. But, I have caught more fox and coyotes over the years in the duke 1 3/4 os traps than all the others combined i think. I picked up 19 of them that were baseplated, new chain, bubble tipped and had never been in the ground for $80 years ago and the just keep plugging along.
I do want to buy a no bs jr. just to see how the other half lives. lol
