It was a sucess!! Remove old pan and dog Cut the Bridger #2 dogless pan as shown or to your liking. Cut a piece of 3/16 ID tube 1 3/32" long and weld on where pan sits flat when set.. it's very important that it's inside diameter is 3/16. U want the tube to be directly under the jaw Now make minor adjustments to level pan out and enjoy.. you also have pan tension now Last edited by DirtyD; 03/18/24 02:48 AM.

I do a lot of blind trail sets, so I'm hoping that bigger pan makes a difference on that.. I only got a dozen pans to test out... ima have to wait till next year unless I go set for coyote. Right now the pan is still loose. I would assume it would be void of a dead spot like any other dogless trap. Last edited by DirtyD; 03/18/24 06:37 PM. lassier les bon temps rouler!!!!!!!!

This one has MB550 OS jaws but stock jaws work just as well. As you can see I cut the tab off as I thought it was unnecessary. Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.
