This trap has been retired since 1 / 9 / 2006

Also named it Double Trouble ...( Might be gay )

But on that date...that trap right there ( mb750)...held two beavers

By the toes ...on a drowning rig. One weighed 30 lbs..and the other was 35 lbs.

Post up your special trap !!

A lot of my original Northwoods traps

I caught two coon in the same No.11 sleepy creek trap one time. Didnt save the trap for. anything special. And never had a camera with me.

Nice catch

I retired a half-dozen 1.75 Northwoods that are very special to me.

My brother passed away back in 1989. We were both actively trapping at the time.

One of our uncles cleaned some of his stuff out of his garage including a half-dozen Northwoods that he added to a truckload of steel scrap and dumped at the local scrapyard.

I happened to be a crane operator at that scrapyard at the time. One morning on my way to the break room I saw the traps and grabbed them thinking what kind of an idiot would toss Northwoods. They still had name tags on them and I was shocked to see that they had belonged to my deceased brother.

I marked them with a piece of wire and added them to my collection, I was using 1.75 Northwoods for fox back then and still am today.

After two seasons I had caught multiple red fox in all of them and decided to retire them before something happened and they were gone. I cleaned them, dyed and waxed them and they've been hanging in my office along with a sifter my brother made for the last thirty-plus years.

Great Story lugnut !!

That is spectacular!

I have a #1 Jump and #1 LS that belonged to my grandfather that are retired.

I have an older dog proof trap( bandit buster) that was given to me by a friend… he’s gone on to the kingdom with JESUS. I keep it because he was a very good friend.
