Have a chance to pick up 50 of the Montgomery #2 square jaw dog on traps for a great price. I’ve only been around the #3 dogless Any reason these wouldn’t make a good coyote/bobcat trap?

Good traps, just be aware of the low lever issues but if you use the #3 then I'm sure you know.

What warrior said...the models with the swing set, twin loop chain will require work

Not as good as the newer round jaw Monts from the 80's but if you don't mind being a mechanic, they are solid. I prefer and use the dogless ones as the "Square Jaw" gives you a little more area than the round. Never (in 35 years) have I needed to base plate a 2 coil one but I do use the "center locators" sold by supply houses and don't weld just bend tight onto the center and cross frame with a hammer and punch. This is counter to every "big time" opinion but checking traps every or every other day has never showed a problem in those 35 years. Just get them tight. ..........My experience. ............................... the mike

The #2 Square jaw montgomery were my first coyote traps I got 12 years ago. They were great. I did have to put new springs on all of them as they were too weak when I bought them. Found that out the hard way.
