I agree. I've never been able to graduate to the 330 club. Never made it past the 220 club. I'm OK with that. When you're 20 and drop something you pick it up. When you're 80 you decide you don't need it anymore.

Trapset trapper T Joined: Jan 2009 Nebraska	Originally Posted by wws I got in it today again. Have been able to stay out of it since November. I got caught by the wrist in November right before leaving for vacation in Mexico. Today was just half of the left hand. The Belisles sure do grab you fast! I’m sure it’s not going to be the last time for me. I still remember Bob Gilman watching me set marten traps telling me how I was to comfortable around them and was going to get caught. wws Dang!, twice since November. You might wanna look into a good one handed setter. www.rtssetter.com

bearcat2 trapper B Joined: Oct 2011 Idaho	I used to say I'd been caught in about every type of trap I owned except a 330, I respected them too much. But last fall I got my foot in someone else's 330! Didn't hurt over my boot, but the dang thing was tied down and I had to take my boot off and squat down so I could get the springs where I could compress them with my hands to get it off my boot. In the middle of a whiteout snow storm of course.
