We was showing off his new toys at the fur sale a few years back and that's when I decided to change out some of my traps. Now its 80% of my line.

Or rather it doesn't matter if the springs freeze down, they'll still go off. I used to use DLS, but with the smaller coildsprings, I can put 6 traps and pack them up the hill pretty easy. I can only fit 3 DLS in the same backpack. But I do agree, the DLS is the perfect exposed trap because you can make the pan as big as you want without having to worry about levers pushing the pan up.
