I’m with PA, not a trapper but could use one for my spouse to keep her home until i’m back from fishing. 😂 Great video once again Papa.
I'm gonna jump in with my boys here 😂 not a trapper but solid info bud!
thanks buddy, really appreciate that. Feel like I lost more than I remembered over the years lol. Getting old brotha hahah jk
i have never used them. we use the offset #2 bridgers,duke #2 square jaw,duke #1,75 and the MB 550s im sure those dogless are just as good as the others. love the trapping videos keep them coming
THanks so much buddy, I love your videos as well and appreciate your feedback and knowledge on the topic. like i said in the video I will continue to use all my traps, victor, duke, bridger, but the design just seems more efficient and easier of a catch because anywhere they step on the pan front or back set off the trap, where my dogs i would see a print on the dog itself and it would not set off. Just a preference but the second half of the video was needed about cutting off the 4 coil parts. THanks for watching.
I was watching B N outdoors found your channel good information on the traps just rung the bell
Thank you so much ill check ya out as well, gotta support eachother as much as possible. Have an entire trapping playlist out feel free to check it out if ya have time. take care.
I am no metallurgist, but boiling water can't get above 212 degrees. Regardless of how long you leave the traps in the water for, that low of a temperature will not have any effect on the temper of the metal or the memory of your springs. I've always boiled my traps and never had any negative issues. Other than the springs, it's all mild (unhardenable) steel anyway.
Your correct I always felt boiling would lessen the strength over time but doubt that makes sense kinda similar to how can jet fuel melt steel beams 😏🤯
I've always wanted to try trapping. I've heard if you run traps that you can't really do anything else because you have to stay on them. Great explanation! 👍
Thanks man for watching, Yea its honestly so difficult because its time and labor intensive. Prep is key, then I do most my high mountain lines on foot so takes morning to night usually to set them, checking them takes another half day depending on amount and distance and then skinning, fleshing, stretching lol. After its done most sell them where I tan them and that takes 2 weeks of work its a lot, but gotta find time to fish and hunt also.
@@paparomesoutdoors711 that's pretty much what I've heard. but I bet it is fun walking up you on your traps and seeing what you've got in them.
Grant McIntosh brotha it’s an addiction I can’t sleep wondering which will go off next
I only run 10 to 20 traps, I have a guy that comes and takes my animals, i dont keep um, i just want to thin the coyote population. If im gonna be to busy for awhile i pull um, also snare some to, its fun, like hunting. Once in a while ill keep something really cool. Start slow, set acouple you can see from your house with binos, its fun
@@henrybittle5234 thats what its all about, I dont make money from trapping i lose money, I tan the furs and keep em, and also thats why I do not do it in high numbers, but when we set we catch. Glad to hear your doing what you love nice job.
I have a few of those and use have no complaints. good info
Thats great, yea I love em, I mean dont get me wrong many traps are great traps, if they catch animals, hold up to the wear and tear we put on them and work they are a great thing, but this dogless system is just more efficient and the surface area is larger. thanks for watching.
Thanks for the review! I have Dukes right now, it’s what was available locally on short notice. I need to take a look at these...
Thanks so much for watching. Duke work I hear, I have some old Duke and victor but at this point they needed to be replaced far to weak and old after 25 years, but these dogless are something else for sure. thanks for watching
Great info! Thank you. I will be buying some soon and have been wondering how to get the best out of them.
Thank you just recommended by the manufacture and trial error you will see the issue if running 2 coil. Good luck tight chains 👊🏻😎
Great video buddy!! I love bridger traps. I use 1.75 bridger. I think they are made good. Im going to be putting Those #2 dogless traps into my Fox/Coyote line next season. Thanks for the great information. Enjoyed watching the video!!!
@@paparomesoutdoors711 I trap mostly for Fox . raccoons with DP. I like square jaws to. I do have( 8 )1.65 for pocket sets in the water for coon and mink.. I'm going to be adding number to Douglas next year
I mostly run MB 550's, but I do keep a few dogless Bridgers and I have no complaints! Good video!
Thank you, yea those 550s are one beautiful trap, well made and will last a lifetime. Sad to think but trap theft is high in my parts and would make for an expensive loss between traps stakes or drags. How do you find your 550s on fox? much damage to them?
@@paparomesoutdoors711 less damage than the Bridgers!
@@trappersnapper5451 bridgers with the offset? I dont really get much damage with my offsets they have a large gap, but the non offset those would def do some damage. I love the jaws on those 550s
@@paparomesoutdoors711 yeah I think it's the way the jaws are shaped on the 550's! They wont cut!
Great review & tips! Thanks for sharing! 👍
my pleasure, well needed information to save ppls fur and traps.
Good deal. I’ll have to try that on some of my traps I’m trying out. I’m standing today. Take care of your back. We need ya on the line. #PAWSUP
Thanks man, glad to hear your progressing, yea My backs been bad, gotta keep active and strengthen it to keep on keepin on. If i have to ill slide to my stand ;) ciao bello
Good tips!!!..solid choice in a trap!!
Thank you so much, We feel with cost of prices and theft, the design of traps with the dogless system and well trial testing we have done, why change its perfect. thanks for watching
Cool. Thx for sharing
appreciate you stopping by
@@paparomesoutdoors711 ur welcome
We added 2 dozen two years ago to our coyote line they accounted for 27 coyotes without a miss we are running all 2 coil. We are in the process of replacing all our dry land traps with them.
That’s great they work great for us also
Using those long chains lets the coyote bend pins and bang up traps. I use 4 links. 4 coil and laminated jaws is the way to go for coyote.
I have 6 of these. Pans were too high on all. After leveling the pans by sliding pan assembly, 3 of them would bottom out before firing. Filing the end of the pan where it contacts the jaw fixed this and also reduced a lot of the pan creep. If using anything under the pan (polyfill, underalls etc. set the pan tension with the stuff under the pan as it raises the pan tension dramatically. Have caught only 1coyote probably because I shot a lot of them last spring and summer at night with a thermal. Have caught some fox, raccoon and unfortunately my own dog. No harm done though.
Looks like great traps!!
Thanks buddy for stopping by.
Good vid on a real deal mod for a problem solved.....I'm guilty of making common sense mods seen all on the net, but finding real issues and solutions are few and far between....good vid..
Thanks so much that means alot. really appreciate your support.
@@paparomesoutdoors711 yes sir.....appreciate you.
thanks buddy
Thanks for the tip.
I agree.
thanks for stopping by
New trapper here. Why leave a half inch on the coil post if you dont plan on 4 coiling? I dont plan on ever 4-coiling so should i just cut them all the way off?
Thanks
Heyyy Jimmy C, thanks for stopping by. Watched Grant eat the worm, he kept shouting you out for making him do it lmfao. Nice job buddy.
I just got dome this year to go with my MB550S and no bs junior's
The first coyote I caught in a MB550 hung the chain on that pin and bent the crap out of it
the 550s have that same pin as well? I was not aware of that, only ran them a few times. Havent seen anyone do this before but figured id show this also. thanks for watching
Buddy, you can boil your trap forever, and that steel will never get above 212⁰ unless you are boiling them in a pressure cooker. Even than you can never get hot enough to take temper out of your springs trap
I learned that after this video thank you for watching and your comment!!
Any idea what the pan tension is on these out of the box? I run the MB550’s and like them a lot but am very interested in these also.
I’ve had a couple coyotes bend and warp the levers on my mb-550’s iono how but another thing is man make you some waxed dirt if ya don’t already and do away with just about everything else except maybe just a bit of calcium chloride in super cold 🥶 weather.
wow coyotes bent your 550s? those are some strong damn traps, thats nuts.
So they are night latched?
That is correct, but if you watch the most recent video I just posted I mention we have to clean those out after waxing them to prevent them from slipping.
Having problems getting to 3lb on my #3 brigers. Pan completely loose fires at 4 lb.
Try calling where you got them from? I only use #2s nit sure if they are different or not
You can not degrade the structure integrity of steel by boiling or "over boiling" it would have to be over 400 degrees. Boiling is no where near that.
I do agree there, that is correct. someone told me that, but after looking into it it was Bogus. unable to correct it either on here. thanks for watching.
Anyone please respond, do you prefer two or four coiled bridger #2dogless and should I laminate them.
I don’t trap but good info
Thanks for watching
The only thing I added is a shock spring
Where in pa have you ever had -30 degrees in the past 5 years?
This was not PA, maybe that’s why your mistaken
@@paparomesoutdoors711 oh ok gotcha. I was really confused about that lol!
Did you get #2 or #3 s
#2 thanks for sharing
How much money
Shame they only offer offset
3s to big but 2s dogless offset is 2coil is all I run
Hey I’m here 👋🏾 hope you will join my squad too!!!
My next trap will be Bridger dog less
Thats great to hear, Not sponsored by them or anything but I enjoy them and they work well for me. Thanks for watching.
Another guy who doesn't know much, teaching others. By the way...that click means the trap IS night latched!!
No shit Sherlock
You got that right
You just miss up big time ! O.k. i Would left that along ! Four coil is the way to go ! I do alll traps is four. Coil ! Lol !
Yea that’s preference, what’s there to mess up? Have you ran these exact traps? They are recommend by factory to remove the pins if running 2 cool. If your running 4 coil then yes leave them obviously. Clearly from my catch videos you can tell just how much I messed up. Coyotes will bend them if those pins are not removed.
