It has to be pulled up. I checked the dog side of the jaw and it has the same problem. When the trap fires it is almost as if was in slow motion, not the quick snap one would expect. It seems like the trap jaw that goes thru the hole in the frame is causing the drag. Anybody have a fix for them? So far 10 of the 12 from this box is like that. 24 years Army Medical Corps I only want to be known as: A great husband, a good trapper, and a great steward of the land.
