TasteLikeChicken trapper Registered: 12/22/06 Posts: 4203 Loc: Oregon	Yup...Wrap some old leather gloves around the handle where the jaws will snap and duct tape them into place. Now you won't mess up your trap when firing it. I use a 3lb and a 4pound hammer set up this way. Get it to fire between those 2 weights and you are set.
