yotetrapper30 trapper Joined: May 2011 Oakland, MS	Originally Posted by HayDay X2 Of the two #11 traps I'm aware of you can buy new, Bridgers are first choice. Hope the new Sterlings are as good or even better. Dukes not so much. For past few months there has been a guy on ebay unloading a big pile of lightly used Northwoods #11's in lots of 8 to 10. I snagged a few and they are a good trap. In addition to his short video on fixing the Duke traps, Dale Billingsly also has a video for those struggling to set these double long springs with stout springs. Perhaps Dale has figured out a way to make some money off his videos.......as he has been producing tons of them. I was going to say Oneida Victor is still producing the Newhouse and B&L new #11s, but when I went to F&T both say they are out of stock. Southeastern does have the Newhouse in stock. Does anyone know if Victor is still producing these? Once in a while, you get shown the light In the strangest of places if you look at it right

Even got a cat in a dryland coon set in a #11, and held a couple beaver too. Had one coyote held in them by the pad too. Just the pad, and it held him. Tenacious holding power in those little traps. Front foot coon it was the best trap I ever used. These were mostly old style sleepy creeks. Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I don't want to trap coon. We don't have mink or rats. What in the world do I need #11s for? But now I'm wanting Sterling 11s and Newhouse 11s.... WHY? It must be a mental illness, lol.
