Anybody have an opinion and actual experience with it? I assume they are limited production and probably pretty expensive. Well, when places like Idaho and the F4WM are paying $2,500.00 per wolf and you keep the wolf, how expensive is TOO EXPENSIVE for a trap ?

I am sure it is of top quality as I have heard nothing but good about all Sterling traps. Who is the F4WM and do they pay for wolves taken in other states besides Idaho?

Saw elk, moose and quality mule deer during the 7 days. Never saw or heard any wolves. Three years later got drawn again. On the second night wolves started howling from multiple mountain tops from our camp. Horses and mules got very nervous. Mentioned it the the two conservation agents who road in on horseback. The only game the were interested in hearing about is if we had seen any grouse. Big game was non existent. Never went back after that. CK

I’ve only got a yote in a Bridger #9 but I mostly snare. Still wanna get at least one with a FH, another tool in the box. The next one I might try is the NBS. Another chew out yesterday while taking everything out but got a young one 20’ away in a different snare. Fur is starting to rub. Like others mentioned, I want something that’ll tare through some snow, and stay in one piece if daddy comes by. One of the Brawn’s pan was a bit frozen yesterday, but the others functioned. If a bear jumped on the frozen one, woulda had em.
