I remember there was an Alaskan trapper that caught a wolf in a Bridger brawn and the wolf chewed/ broke the wire lever. He posted the pics in the wilderness forum. I never heard anything good about them however I never tried them. I've only used the #9's for wolves and it's been a good trap, to bad it's not on your list.

You need to bite the bullet and buy some #9 Alaskans. That Bridger is good for nothing but a boat anchor. The Bridger is too heavy and too slow compared to the #9 Alaskan.
I know there's a difference in price but what does that matter if you can't catch anything with the Bridger? I did a quick search and can’t find a supplier, but it’s not on Manitobas approved list anyways. The pan tension was pretty light, but like Northof50 said, we got freezing rain followed by snow on Friday. There was a speck of blood in every other step on the way out. Snaring the buggers is a lot easier, but I’d like to get one in a foot hold. I’m getting a few conflicting answers everywhere I’ve asked. What worked for some, may not work for others….or one bad experience with a trap (like this one..lol) and they’re finished. I’m gonna stick it out with the Bridgers for a bit longer. Once the snow really falls it’ll be full out snares. I would not know if the ATA manual is any good since I have not read it. That idea was suggested to me so just passing it a long. Since you have read it ? It did not work for ya eh ? Kind a figures. So you didn’t read it, but felt confident enough to bash it on Tman, got hammered for it and felt shame….lol https://trapperman.com/forum/ubbthr...-alaska-wolf-trapping-manual#Post7996302You got any tips from your successful wolf trapping adventures? I can see you read my post about as well as you did the ATA manual. I am good with what I said about the manual because what I said is the truth. I gave you the tip: it was use # 9's.Guess you missed that part also.

James himself told me about his Koro wolf trap. Strange that it’s not on the list, I can see you read my post about as well as you did the ATA manual. I am good with what I said about the manual because what I said is the truth. I gave you the tip: it was use # 9's.Guess you missed that part also. Yea, I think you quoted so White17. #9. You’ve had success with them? Or just hanging snares in mums garden?

Jake, did you have one snare out? If so, a good rule of thumb, especially at a bait pile, is if it's good for one snare hang several.

Jake, did you have one snare out? If so, a good rule of thumb, especially at a bait pile, is if it's good for one snare hang several. I had several near this spot, but moved some to a different spot a mile away. After a light rain, turning to wet snow, the trees were all bent over the trail and a lot of my snares were blocked. They just went around taking the easier route. I brushed off the snow at the little bait site and other areas, then it came through……that one spot! Lol. Savvy lives close to me and I’m gonna pick up a bunch of gear this weekend. Ideally, I’d like to have every possible route covered with a couple snares, but I can’t just go and pick up 100 Rams……well, I could, but I’d also need a divorce lawyer too. Going to contact Bob at Conservation and ask him about this approved list. There’s alotta good traps out there that aren’t listed. Last I heard, it was something like $10 grand (I think Northof50 might chime in) to get a sample certified? Duke said they’re sending their 850 to FIC for certification.

Ya gotta watch the Underworld movies! Werewolf movies were my favourite when I was a kid. But never called them a Lycan, sounds like some kind European eco car…… The Lycan ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2023/12/full-56418-199771-img_0357.jpeg)
