Okay, I'll keep that in mind if I decide to get a few. I have to use offsets here in Arkansas, have any experience with those?

Mine have offset jaws and OS laminations- they are very easy on a foot but one coon can make a mess in the same trap. “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers
