Making Informative Trapping Memes

Trying to help out the new guys by making these. Looking for suggestions and pictures to use . Feel free to share these.




Thanks!
God Bless!

Nice work!!!

I finally learned what a nite-latch was. Too bad I can't use traps like that here.

Good on you.

Pete

That is a GREAT idea!

Lemme know what I got wrong. Treid to be completely unbiased.

These are great

Thanks learned some new stuff and got visual for some stuff that archives doesnt sbow any more.

You can tell Wolfdog made these They look really good though

The only problem I see with any of them is that most make me wish I knew how to weld

I'll argue with you on the rebar stakes... I would say 3/8 minimum. 1/2" doesn't hold that much better to justify the added weight.

Other than that I think you did a fine job.

Mike

Always wondered what size was most commen or needed. But 1/2 inch x 24 inch works great staking out my wall tent every fall

Very nicely done, Wolfdog!

I like these, nice job!


I would retake the drowning set pic without you standing in it. The trap/cable is the focus, but the eyes are drawn away, as the blue is a stronger focal point.

The aggressive drag needs a close up like the grapple.

Try to eliminate any 'extras' in the photos. Example: pan tension has focal point and item of interest. No extras. Now, look at loose jaw pic, background items draw viewer away from subject.

I always enjoy your posts. Thanks!

Valuable and informative information

That Bridger in the first one looks familar...
Actually looks like the one I got a Grey out of last night.

Few more, and yes these are very common questions I see in trapping groups

lol! How you liken em ?

GREAT idea.


One thing to add: When using drowner Rods or cables, adding a stop 18-24" from the bottom end is a good idea. If an otter or beaver can slide all the way to the end, they can cause big problems. With weights, it's easier for them to move the weights without that stop. With Rods, the lock can slide off or they can pull the end out of the mud if there's a stop too close to the end. How you word this is up to you, but adding a stop 18-24" from the end helps tremendously.

I think this is great stuff. maybe it will get stickeyed and built upon
Nice to see this being done.

Very useful info. Thanks!

Why not? That's a weird law if that's what it is!

I think he is referring to coil spring traps not the nightlatching

Ooooh, ok. makes a whole lot more sense. I don't know why nite latch would be illegal! lol.

Few more.

Open to suggestions

I got asked to make some on fur put up, I don't know Jack about that so looking for simple stuff.

well i think you have done a fine job on this ! maybe one of the veterans will join in with ya !

Good job putting together a lot of good info without a lot of fluff!

Dang Wolfie, you've been busy!

Great post, keep it up.

Thank You for your time and work posting these! Very useful info, keep 'em coming.

Ttt

Great info Wolf, I like it

Do something with these. Short latch. No fooling around with two notchs. Much faster when setting.

Don't forget to close the dog loop. If you don't as the pan drops the dog moves forward. It can move forward enough to prevent the trap from firing. Close the loop and you eliminate a lot of "creep". When the pan moves the trap fires if that loop is closed.

Nice work wolfy!
Jim

Very good job . Thanks .

Bump

Dang Wolfie, you invented trapping flash cards!

Ttt gonna be making some more soon
