i just got a dozen of duke 1.5 and im going to use them for fox can some one show me how to modify them

id put at least 3 heavy duty swivels ,#2 chain ,make sure the pan is not wobbly .if you have a welder you can base plate and laminate ,i use all 1 3/4 for land now ,i used mostly 1 1/2s before ,then coyotes started moving in and destroying my traps ,now i go with all 1 3/4 as i find it a great universal trap for all critters im catching .all my 1 1/2s are used for water traps

so have the pan so it isnt wobbly but have it tight

Shows 3/16" laminations, nightlatched, new o/s pan bolt, , dog eye closed, 1/4" baseplate w/ center swivel, #2 machine chain with 3 crunchproofs and jaw tips bubbled.

yes i dont use no pan tension ,you have the trap placed right and bedded solid ,the fox will commit before it has time to do anything that my 2cents

but wont it be hard to bed since its loose

hey andy ,look at them ,looks as nice as a diamond necklace

u know the part that holds the trigger how do u have that

what is loose ??if your trap is loose you have problems ,

the dog ?

Oh, they work OK I guess......

Yote in a coon set.



Yote with both front feet in one in a fox set.

jerry ,yeah held a FEW but lost alot lol,then smartened up and changed

i didnt know a 1.5 duke could hold a yote

yes it will once in a great while ,everybody gets lucky sometimes
with proper modifications you withstand a better chance,at least in dukes case

ahh ,andys fancy traps i see there .you see andy when you get good ,you can catch them in anything lol

Hmmmm, are you really sure this is the case?????

I can't even think of how many coyotes and cats I have taken with the Modified Duke 1.5's. Only thing that limits you is jaw spread and that is eliminated by showing them where YOU want them to step.

jerry ,i have never modified my 1 1/2 for land ,they were stock,ive since then changed to 1 3/4 no more 1 1/2 on land .i dont know how big your coyotes are but we get them from 50-60 lbs every year

nice work Jerry!

We are still Bro's Andy.......

Oh, there were still those Duke's in the truck and the rest of them were froze under the ice on all those watersheds........
