John my name is Trey Ferguson. I'm wondering if the covers in your catalog will work on my bridger number 3s. I was on the phone with your wife about a month ago and she was as nice as anybody could be she patiently answered all my questions as best she could and was super nice. I ordered your latest DVD and its solid coyote killing information from start to finish. I have all your DVDs as well as a lot of others and your way of teaching and explaining things are very simple to understand and your methods work for me here in Virginia. You have greatly influenced my style of trapping and made me a better trapper. Im sorry for getting off topic there just wanted to thank you for teaching trappers all across this country to better there game at a very cheap price on your DVDs. I would pay a lot of money to ride on your line for a day.

Nicely done John G
Steel screen works best for me when trap pan looks like this for pan height.

Just like Red has shown the trap has to have pan slightly below the jaw to work.And run a good 4 pounds of pan tension.I have tried screen in some traps that a cup jawed when set the loose side will not lay down I have since sold those traps you just get to many fingers.I use the Vic. Montgomery 3-4 lay super flat just cut notch all the way set trap wire will get pinched on dog side pull across turn corner up on loose end the whole inside of jaw will be kill area.I have yet so see a bubble with this stiff screen.I have found the thin screen like window is really no better than wax paper except it lets water go through or lets moisture escape.With a 1/2 in of dirt of a dirt on trap to blend properly it makes life simple just shove the trap in trap bed cover and be gone.I have never formed around pan you should never need to turn corners up at edges YES.Like I tell everyone everyone has there certain ways to trap.I think this screen could be coated and grass added for a exposed cat set and be a super deal.

is sceen the same size for 3 monty as the 3 montana? can anyone post a pic of a sceened monty3? gettin ready to cut some screen.

Picking up the screen today will be available Oct.24 for sale.

If someone can tell me how to post a pic on here, I can do it. It's been awhile since I've been on and it appears the format has changed.

Put them on your computer and select from your gallery if you are having trouble posting from your phone .

Imo this is a good thread and an excellent example of different strokes for different folks. It may not work or may not work to the users liking so they find something that works best for them. The great part is that trappers have several different options to try until they find a way that works for them.

Marty didn’t have any last year. Think I found some at NO BS though that were somewhat thinner and work exceptionally well for the PDS. And that’s about the only set working for me this year. Very few catches in dirt hole sets.

John,
I've been using your screen for the last 2 years and it works pretty well. Mostly #3 round jaw Vic's, but I have also used it with MB550's. Sometimes I can even re-use the same piece if it hasn't been torn up too bad.
Thanks.

Hardware mesh just like you use on a dirt sifter works also harder to pre cut but work great.

Last time up

Still surprises me how many trappers either don't use it or use it improperly

So, I see why a lot of trappers miss animals that visit sets
