@@logangower8615 thanks for your wisdom, I got 2 bridgers and 2 dukes. the bridgers have hair trigger outta the box. when I try to lower the pan, they go off. Cant get em level. The duke pans can be lowered to level. I'm scared to file anything off. 1st night I set them, the bridger (#3) fired and coyote( I think) got off. Any thoughts?

@@stevenrussell8410 Nope, the Bridget #3 are usually pretty good traps. However, the pans don’t have to be perfectly level, in fact, some people like their pans pointing just a hair off. But if the pan is super uneven, that’s a problem.

First dozen traps. Duke # 4s. Nearly destroyed First trap I tried alone. Studied your video and went to it. 10 minutes per trap they all night latch perfect!! Appreciate you

ANd these are Dukes. The Bridger traps seem to have a pseudo nite latch from the factory where the pan is high and you then adjust it down until a click is heard.
@K1NF
9 жыл бұрын
I nite latch for two reasons. One is to hear the click when the pan is level, great for low or no light conditions. Two, is to have the trap fire with no perceptible movement. To do that, make the notch just deep enough to catch the dog but be right on the edge. Thanks for all your videos, I have learned something from each and every one.

@53kills
2 жыл бұрын
Flat files are measured by length and not thickness. An 8 inch will be the closest to 5/32. A 10 inch is close to 3/16. I used an 8 inch on my #2 and #3 Dukes. The only difference it made was the "click" on the #3 traps was not as loud. We're working on traps not jet engines so the tolerances are slightly more flexible.
@davetoms63
2 жыл бұрын
@@53kills file length has zero to do with the thickness of file - each manufacturer/file can be different as far as depth of file. In the video he is talking 1/32 of an inch - that's a pretty tight tolerance and the idea I believe he was stressing was to lay the file flat on the stock and the file difference would make up the gap difference between the different sized traps.
@53kills
2 жыл бұрын
Like the guy in the video said it's not rocket science. You are correct. The length of a flat file is irrelevant to the thickness. That's because thickness is irrelevant to a flat file's intended use. You're not going to Lowe's, Tractor Supply.etc, and find a 5/32 or a 3/16 inch flat file. However you will find an 8 inch or 10 inch file. A 8 inch file will work fine for a #2 trap. An 10 inch will work for #3. The guy is working on traps, not a complex device requiring precision tolerances. Just file a notch in the pan. As he said, it's quite simple.

Silly question perhaps but could you still accomplish the night latch just by adjusting the dog distance from the pan notch w/o needing to file the notch? In theory would it not still level the pan including a hair trigger?? Otherwise great video and good explanation. I use strictly #3 Bridger offset for coyotes.

do you do anything to make that trap trip with basically.no pan creep? or was that trap done once you turned off the camera? I ask because the key when bedding a trap is to make sure it is solid and does not move when he animals steps. now when it steps on the pan and it creeps slightly and doesn't go off wouldn't that be the same as a wobbly trap? I like everyone try to make a set that when they animal steps on that pan it is committed but just something I've been pondering while tuning my traps this weekend.
