I bought 3 dozen Lil grizz traps off trap shed for $300
First off are they good traps?? I don't care as long as they catch and is $300 good for 3 dozen I currently have like a dozen Duke dps and caught lots of coons are the grizz traps good/better than duke?? I'm a little skeptical about thr staking system but if they catch I'm happy. Still need to buy my k9 traps and hope I catch any canine weather if that's a gray fox or a bobcat idc as long as I get one this season I will be blessed. I gonna try to get 75 coon this season.

Griz traps are higher quality than most dp’s they are USA made and the staking set up works just fine. Good luck young man!

Ok

Good deal. You won't be begging for free traps anymore

I wasn't "begging" I was asking if anybody had traps they didn't want. Geezzzz

How is your staking system?
That's another thing to get worked out
and these guys will help.
Name or number tags too.

I got wolf fang anchors and I'm buying name tags for legal reasons

Yes, the "stake" setup looks a bit sketchy but they work fine if used properly.

Push the "stake" into the soft earth, nearly to the base of the tube,
and then twist it about 45* degrees which locks both sides
of the "stake" wires in place in the ground to stabilize the DP.

The Lil Grizz DP trap was considered The Cadillac of DP traps
when they 1st hit the market.....American Made & of Top Quality
materials & design.

They held that top position until Carlis Stevens introduced
the Innovative COON DAGGER Dog Proof design.

I'd venture to say that Lil Grizz DP's are still in the Top Three for Dog Proofs !!!

YES, Lil Grizz are definitely good traps !!!

Shoot man, he’s getting a skinning machine and paying someone to use it, lol. I’m always leery of these “kids” that join and start posting nonstop. I don’t even remember what happened to the last one that was on here. This one said he has a YouTube channel, so I’m curious if he’ll post it.

Stick the trap stake in at about a .45 deg angle, if the ground is too hard, rocky or frozen, they work just fine laying on the ground. Don't waste a lot of time/money on trap prep as the first Coon will polish it to fair thee well. Don't buy a trap setter as an old large size screwdriver or a plain bar works great.

Interesting you ask now after you buy??? But yes, Lil Grizz DP are one of the top DP traps. For some reason they have jumped up significant in price this year. Picked up NIB Grizz last year at Nationals for $120/dozen. You'll have to get used to the staking system it's a bit different, I carry an axe for hard soils; no problem in soft soils if using the technique outlined above.

I can set with hands I set Duke with hands too

I will be posting every single check and some skinning lol

No need to for my sake please

I have been using lil griz getters for 20 years. They have held up very nicely. I had to retire one that got clipped by a bush hog. Cut the straight part of the spring. I may try to TIG weld it back together. Doing so may reduce the spring tension down to around what a Duke is. I'm good with that.

I remember in the 7th grade my buddy and I were planning on going to Brazil trapping for fur. I am sure we were boring our teacher to death when he finally told us if we wanted fur to go north. Sound advice for the time.

What in the world could two snotty nosed little kids been thinking. What silly dreams we had? Actually we was 15 or 20 yrs ahead of our time. It wasn't long before every old codger worth his salt had a cage in their garage with chinchillas in it on to their way of living a dream.

That same 7th grade teacher also told us that when he was coming back from France in WW2 that a high officer came over the radio with some orders. The officer receiving the call radioed back "Rodger Dodger". The guy on the radio said that was not fitting and wanted his name and rank, and that he was a Colonel. To which their officer responded, "Rodger Dodger you old Codger" I'm a Colonel too!

Possibly one of the things that may be lower than a trap thief is a dream thief.
