you wernt kidding and for that I thankyou I definitely had to file alot, when I first tryed to set them they wouldn't stay like you said one bump and it would go off. I got em working good now. I alwase use a extra safty. I'll get my money back out of them, then trade them off or maybe I'll learn to like them, we'll see. Anyhow thanks again I appreciate the heads up, safe trapping is fun trapping!

Tim not telling you what to buy , I been running BMI mags. for at least 12 if not more years [they have held up good] wanted to buy some more when they came back out 4? years ago -they were at the Ohio convention ,, only thing stopped me was no Mags. and was a cash only sale -no credit/bank cards , no checks - only looking for another doz. myself and if I get to go to a convention this year will pick them up -no shipping and convention sales are great-D-

Great post! I just found out I have to trap beaver on the little powder river, dang near to the Montana state line. I picked up a few 330's duke's at the feed store to try them out. I will snare as much as I can. Thanks D.

I alwase appreciate all info on a good quality traps and supplies. your so right about conventions & cash = good deals. the erie outdoor expo is not very good it's small and its all overpriced. Darrin has been the only trapping exhibit there for the last 4 years, he trys to keep the world of trapping alive around here,

Yeah boys I have not done a whole lot of beaver trapping, there is roughly 40 to 50 miles of river.. I can't trap it all just the ranches that want them thinned out. If I run into any problems I will give you a shout.
