I nightlatch my traps but when I tune the traps I make it to where when I set it it’s on the night latch I don’t waste time sitting there slowly pushing the pan till I hear the click. I also leave my pans on when filing

It is? For mink it might be better for the trap to fire with any movement

SNIPERBBB trapper Joined: Dec 2006 Rodney,Ohio	Originally Posted by Turtledale I have more control of my file if I take the pan off. Only takes a minute or less. Have done it both ways Might turn into a 10 minute job if the pan bolt strips(common on certain traps to occur) Last edited by SNIPERBBB; 08/10/26 10:22 PM.
