I have no complaints either. Think I have missed one beaver with them in the last 4 years that I have had them,and it was my fault. [Linked Image]

Love them, use them a lot, and if I do my part, they do their’s.
Earned my living with them for about six years with no complaints.

I use them right alongside the MB750's. catch rate is equal. I bet you will be satisfied if you give them a shot as long as you do your part.

Picked them up the same time I added MB 750s . Both do well. My #4 dls's hang on a nail in the shed after too many toenail catches.

Really like the way they preform- I have one that the dimpled night latch is not working on- I believe that was operator error as I acetone dipped all mine, the dimple probably needs to be cleaned

Sold mine. Nice trap but the pan needs changed. It's a pain to set as the pan notch is barely big enough for the dog.

Put on a PIT pan system and modify the outside jaw profile so they lock up better, and you'll have a good trap.

Thanks for the replies. I am kicking around the idea of trying a few out and was looking for some honest feedback.
