Those are strong traps for sure. Gotta several stashed away.

I like the Montgomery 11s and diggers

probably a few dozen NOS 3N's ;-)

I love me anything with cast jaws......

1.5 Victor pinch pans, would buy them by the cases if I had the money.

Original CDR’s

3N, 4N, 3 & 4 & 4.5 sleepy creek.

I'm going modern. 330 vics if they ever start making them again.

# 2 B&L longspring

The early Montgomery 1.5 dogless had a solid reputation of being and great trap

From being up at Rick Olson's place I've learned to like
Dbl longs ....So I'd buy 3n and 4n's

Bought and sold a lot of traps over the years to get to where I’m at now with the traps l wanted so I’d pass on other traps to start that cycle all over again. LOL

New Are fun
Old strong working traps are Cool and fun

44 B&L dbls and #14 jumps.

One trap I always wished was made but don’t think it ever was, an 0 double long spring. Always thought it would make a great mink trap.

Just out of nostalgia id get some diamond 34's . I always liked that trap since I was a young man. So over the years I collected a dozen of them.

Interesting it says Spiral spr^^^ings

I have about 2 dozen of the 0600 Montgomerys. Just about the same size as a 280.

Victor 3n, KB 5.5 compound, some more 1.5 single long spring.

For the guys wanting BMI traps go check out Sterling Fur Co. ask Keith or Humphrey

The Coons Den in Palestine, Ohio used to carry a coon sized, 30" by 14" by 14", heavy duty box trap, with a solid metal door, they were fantastic. They later switched to an all wire trap, of a lighter gauge, that were decent. I would love to have about 2 dozen of the original trap. My original box traps are beat up or missing from being loaned out.

I have 1 smaller trap, built like the coon sized ones. I once caught a 26 pound boar coon in one. He barely had the space to blink. He had near perfectly took on the shape of the box trap. I think the heavy door tapped him hard on the rear end, startling him so badly, he pushed in as hard as he possibly could. I couldn't have packed him much tighter with a hammer.

The solid metal door made it much easier to approach skunks and to release catches, in the rare cases where I chose too. I got no back outs in them, like I did occasionally with the lighter door traps.

I had a coyote that would travel down my line and raid my box traps and a few very large coons that would do the same. 2 strategically placed 1 1/2s just in front of the door stopped that problem whenever it occurred.

I’ve never actually used them but I have a couple no 2 victor Jumps. They’re cool!
