Looks like a beast of a trap but they are a little high in cost. No BS is a $20 to $30 less and I think I would prefer them. Thanks for sharing.

I much prefer a trap I can adjust tension on the pan. I absolutely hate the no BS traps for that very reason - its a dang nightmare to get it set to the poundage I like. If you wax them it's too light so you have to clean the wax off - then it's too much so you have to wax it with bowstring wax - and then EVERYTIME you make a catch it changes or can change - with the duke 550, once I get them set they very seldom change. I think I'll give these a shot.

Dogless the only way to go. That’s a nice hybrid of the two traps

I have been trapping in Wyoming and Utah for 10 years. I have used everything from #1 1/2 Dukes out of the box to #4 Bridgers that have been laminated with offset jaws with 4 coil springs, dyed and waxed. I've used night latches. I have used different bait, lures, and any number of attractans. I have lost VERY few animals from pull outs or refusals. If you use the right set, bed your trap appropriately, and block it down, you will catch those animals. You don't have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on equipment. You don't have to worry about scent. Put lots of traps out in the right place. Stay away from them. If it's good for one set, it's good for two of three. You won't lose any animals and you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars and hours of your time working on them!

Definitely a well built great looking trap shouldn't have any problems with it.

Use just a tad of bowstring wax on the night latch of the trap. That will get you right where you need to be right out of the box.

I use bow string wax on my k9 xtreme jrs and didn’t think of it for these😆.

Is it American made

I believe they are, but I’m not positive on that

What makes it dogless? As in the teeth are absent from it- or is it supposed to be “safe” for your dogs.. may be a stupid question.

On some traps there is a metal bar or rod that goes over the rear jaw when the trap is set, called a dog. A Dogless trap uses part of the pan to hold down the rear jaw. There are no foothold traps used in the US today that have teeth. I’ve caught many domestic dogs in traps like the one in this video and not a single one was hurt in any way. Watch my video Hand in a Duke 550.
