Traps arrived yesterday. I set customers at 10 this morning. Stopped by at 2:00 looked at traps and seen one set off and .... Lot easier than the albano I used last year I can see a place for both

Good work. Are you saying it was ez to set and use? I bought 1...I've only used it once though and it didn't seem to work right. I think I was doing something wrong maybe. I'm excited about the OOS though and I am optomistic about it. Mine came with setters I believe, and I think it may require a shovel to make slots. I may have bought the wrong trap.

I just use a small garden spade cut a hole out
Build a bridge of dirt where trigger sets
Set trap, remember to release safety
Put all the dirt back on the hole
And that was it

And that was it Congrats again. I'll try mine again. Maybe I had the safety in the wrong position.

When I first read that I was thinking why buy it if your going to throw it away
About the third time I got it!

I plan on doing ADC work in a few years when I retire from my office job. I have been picking up a few traps along the way when I get a good deal and have also been using them for my own personal use. I was able to get five used OOS and a couple of Victor Easy Set gopher traps and one trap similar to an OOS on e-bay (total price with shipping was $28 so I think I did pretty good). The one is a little smaller than an OOS and has loops on the top to use as handles - any idea what this trap is? See revised below....
Also, are the Victor Easy Set traps any good for gopher and/or mole?
Update: I figured out that the one trap is a Aspectek. Lighter made and weaker than the OOS but it is easy to set.
