Wow, I only have about 25 traps but then I mostly trap just to thin the predator population down to help out our resident deer and turkey population. I'm like Bukman. I trap mainly to keep predator populations in check for the small game, deer and turkey in areas where we hunt. Perhaps next year when I retire (Lord willing) I can pick up some other places. I only have about 6 dozen coil springs and a dozen DP's.

A whole bunch. But never enough. A couple dozen Victor jumps from#1 to #3, a few dozen #4  longsprings (mostly victors, there's a few others mixed in), several dozen #1 and #1 1/2 longsprings (Victor, Bridger, Duke), 2 dozen #11 longsprings, 3 dozen #110's (Victor, Duke), 4 dozen #120's (belisle, Duke), a dozen belisle 220's, 16 #280's (Duke, belisle), a dozen #330's (Duke, belisle), a dozen mb 750 alaskan, a dozen no bs wolf xtreme, half a dozen AK #9's, and a couple koros someone gave me. I also have a few storage totes of coil springs from #1-#5 size from various manufacturers, and a couple more totes of traps rigged for drowning beaver and otter (ts-85's, Victor cs #3's &4's, Duke cs#3's, etc) each has a drowning lock on 10'-20' of 1/8" cable with an adjustable loop on either end. And of course along with all that comes a few different fleshing beams, enough stretching boards to side my house with, and a vast and stinky lure/bait collection

Agree I wish MTP had made a MB 600 or 625,hard to beat the NO BS traps line up,the one bad thing with the NO BS they will hold quite a few deer and calves,their lock up is something else. Have you seen a no bs or a no bs jr hold a deer? If so I’m going to need to change up my plans to use them on a trophy deer lease I’ll be trapping after Christmas. I’ve had a few deer trip mine but have not held any yet. I have held good size pigs though.

For all practical purposes I retired from trapping on1/15/25 so I have way too many traps to play touchy-feelly with now!

I have no real idea...I have a hundred or so set up for K9 work, mixture of 550s, Jakes, NO Bs Jrs. and some odd ones I aquired along the way. There are easily a hundred 1.5 coil/longsprings here between me and my 3 boys, i have 6 dozen Victor 2's that were my Dad's, 2 dozen or so VIctor 4 DLS, 4 dozen DPs, 7 or 8 dozen 110s, a single 120, a few 160s, few 220s, ten 330's, half dozen Bridger #5 coils, and a couple totes of parts and pieces. I guess 400 or so traps that I can remember, if I dug around I might find some more. I still can't help looking at trap shed every day, I have been caught more than once with a sweet deal already this year....
