I can't seem to get the triggers set sensitive enough to catch small skunks. I've set the door lever to just barely engage the trigger rod but the treadle still takes a bit of pressure to trip the trap. Has anyone else experienced this?

I was hoping to find a way to be able to use one trap--tru catch resistor-- for all skunks as well as raccoons. I guess one size doesn't fit all in this circumstance. Thanks.
