I have caught several in Bridger #4's and they have worked fine. I have a few laminated now and think they will be even better.

Bridger #4 is an awesome yote trap!(when i buy new longsprings for yotes, that's what i get). I have not caught any fox in them though.

Yea I just saw coyote. I have caught a few greys in them as well. I started using more pan tension to try and avoid them in thenBtidger #4 when targeting cats an coyotes. I like them really well for cats and coyotes, not so much for fox.

Heck of an otter trap too.

Good to know thank you. If i were to get #3 dls and i got a fox would that end up poorly? is the #3 dls effective for beaver if i wanted a versatile trap? thank you for your help.

I've had bad experiences with #3dls's and fox. Great for yotes and will work for beaver, but not the best for fox, IMO. I've had too much damage on fox with them (reg. jaw, no lams).
