Spent years buying them off Ebay and other sources. Used ones got new springs and two swivels added to the chains. The occasional New-In-Box finds just had the chains modified slightly. They are a great fox trap and will hold about any coyote. Eh...wot?

I think I’ve forgotten this before.

I didn't care for the NW's innovative, in-line shock spring system, though. w I put the shock spring back on them for nostalgia. That's the only part coyotes have destroyed (and a few bent/chewed dogs). Eh...wot?

The Bridger 1.75 didn't exist when bought most of my Northwoods. I have a bunch of the older style Bridger # 2's and 3's and they are identical to the Northwoods # 2's and # 3's. Eh...wot?
