It's so dependant on what I am doing.

Live market coyote - #2 Bridger
Fur market / ADC coyote - Jake trap
Coon - #11 coil, Duke or Z-trap DP, any ol 220.
Otter/beaver - 220 and 330 Belisle, CDRs.

That's mostly what I trap these days. Of course if I was trapping mink, rats, fox, etc. it would be a whole different list.

If I could only use one foothold for everything, it would be a #2 Bridger.

^^^^^^ the weathered wood ,is the door, So the single long spring would be the catch, where the rod goes through....if that makes sense

I do want to buy a no bs jr. just to see how the other half lives. lol

PM me your address. I have a dozen that have never seen dirt. I'll send ya one.


Why do I carry 10mm? Because shooting twice is just silly.

Snare hands down.
Everything can be snared.
