Pulling some traps last year I got caught in two sets back to back. I’m a slow learner I guess. Tore my waders on that trip too. wws

He has also spent considerable time with both hands in a Belisle with no serious side effects. I can believe it. My trapping mentor had a Belisle 330 clamp on his leg after he sliped on the snow and got his foot stuck into it. It took him awhile to get help, and by the time he did, the trap had cut the circulation off from his leg for so long that he didn’t have any feeling in it. Once they were able to pull it off he was able to regain blood flow and felling. He swears that if it had been on there for much longer, he doubts he would have two legs still.

She decided to cut through a pinch point and was going to carry out the beaver I just removed from a float. Blind set 330 was in the channel and I was busy resetting when bang ! She was making quite the fuss ! It’s a lazy man who can’t find his wife a second job !

I reset a beaver run and a piece of ice floated through just as I was finishing the set. I had to walk 3/4 mile and cross 3 barbed wire fences to get to the truck and a rope. That hurt........

Between the three, the 330 Belisle made the biggest lasting impression.

Creates two problems: Getting bit by the turtle or getting caught by the trap. Took a while, but I managed to avoid both. My doctor suggested I start doing squats, so I moved all the beer to the bottom shelf of my fridge.
