Maybe im finally getting old but I recently bought some no BS wolf traps and need trap setters to set them. Any suggestions of setters to use? Prefferbly something Teds trap shed or someone in AK is selling.

The No BS setters are huge but work really well. Only other way I can set those traps is jumping up in the air and landing on the levers perfectly. Have to put the trap on a board on my snowmachine trail first though, otherwise it just sinks into the snow.

I know you said you would prefer some you can get in Alaska, but Bernie Nelson in Idaho makes some setters that will set everything from a coyote sized trap to an Alaska 9, including the NO BS traps. I made my own setters but have to carry a couple different ones for the several different brands of traps I have, having one pair of setters that would set everything (except longsprings) would be nice.
