Wouldnt that defeat the purpose? What I was thinking too. I thought the op wanted to miss the otter. Trapper tip of the month: you cannot catch every size beaver and miss every otter in a bodygrip...no matter the trigger configuration.

That’s how I set most of my under ice sets and some of my open water sets with good results. Wonder if yours is a tuning issue? The stick thing to activate the trigger sounds like a loop hole in the law, kinda circumventing it. A zone to the west of me is a no go area for otter. I don’t have to, but when I set there I put it way off to the side…..but there’s not really any otter there, more rats than here though.

This trigger rule only applies to southern zone trapping in NYS.

After encountering an alive beaver caught at the hips last year, I ditched my 330's and went to 280s.
I do enjoy my footholds and downers for my creeks the most though...

Northern zone NY also has no fisher or bobcat bag limits. No bag limits for either in southern zone either. Only a 6 day fisher season though for fisher, and only specific WMU's for cats..

Far jaw on the neck caught beaver, near jaw on the suit-cased beaver. That one came from the opposite direction that I though he would travel
