Exclude K9s, no need trying to bury a traps in frozen or rocky ground, ease of guiding, no chance of freezing etc. Oh and it works... What"s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.

A guy in Arizona blind set traps on cat trails with some sand on the pans and did well on cats Last edited by Law Dog; 07/29/25 07:51 PM. Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

As a kid mink trappin I liked the B & L traps better than Victors because of the smooth pan. It seemed to make a difference......jk Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free.

As well as providing the perfect place to step (JK I like an asphalt shingle to top the pan) you can eliminate all other places and when done right it's tough to miss the cat.
