Is there anybody that has any experience with these traps? I have the opportunity to buy some but have never used them. Maybe a good beaver trap?

I am waiting on pictures of them. I found them on line and the gentleman is selling real cheap. I just don't have any experience with them. I am not real fond of the #3's but wanted to ask the question on the #4's. Thanks guys!

Better check your regs. Only thing you can use one that big in ky is water sets.

I have asked him to send me pictures but haven't seen any yet. I will have to give him a call. The way he described them they are only used one season.

I have used Northwoods traps for years and now have been adding Bridgers into the mix. I just think they are built a little more durable then the Victor traps. Just my opinion. The smaller Victors like the 11/2 - 1 3/4 are fine but the bigger 2 - 3's seem to be on the light side.

Finally got a hold of the gentleman and the traps were sold already. I can understand for what he wanted for them they should have been gone already.

Speaking of victor 4 coils, is there a PIT pan available for them? I snagged some last year and I’d like to tinker on them for coyotes.
