try a connibear....the others are childsplay in comparison.


oh and I reckon anyone who has set traps of any discription for any length of time in decent numbers (more than a dozen more than once a week) who says they have never caught themselves is telling porkies.....as school kids we all ran gin traps and yip they hurt like hell but you live n learn.

As a kid maybe around 8 or 9 years old, I had about 6 traps and I certainly got caught, ONCE. The traps had been given to me and were very old and a bit weak.
Saved enough to buy 1 shiny new trap but when I got out into the bush I wasn't strong enough to set it even standing on it. It was way stronger than my old ones. Ended up taking one of my Dad's G clamps with me so that I could set it. I don't think he knew. Ah, he probably did...
That trap used to scare me.

I soon learnt to set trap with both jaws to one side and then flip it over once set...was setting them for years before learnt to do it with hands...I always used to use my foot to depress spring.
the string thing..for connibears would actually work for gin traps too....

Kids for sure, but an experienced adult trapper should never get nipped.
