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.

I have been using Northwoods my whole trapping life. Most of them have been retired, been using Bridger and the MB brands now.

Don’t have a lot to really back it up but I like the MB450 OS. They’re strong enough to hold a coyote but small enough that they don’t do damage or hurt a smaller animal or non target catch. Plus I think they’re just a good looking trap!

Bridger #2 modified work just fine for me on coyotes and they're not too rough on non-target catches.

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
