BRIDGER LEGHOLD TRAP





PRODUCT NAME:   Bridger Leghold Trap.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:   This is the traditional designed trap
which leg holds the target animal. There are two springs,
one on each side of the jaws, which are compressed when
setting the trap. To set, the springs are compressed and
the jaws are opened. The trip latch is then set under the
Pan which sets the trap. Animals are trapped live by their
leg.

TARGET ANIMALS:   Although this trap has been used
for many animals over the years, it is still primarily used as
a beaver trap. However, leghold traps are a staple for trappers
targeting coyote, fox, bobcat, raccoon and mink.

WHERE TO USE IT:   Like coil traps, long spring traps
are a live trap that works by capturing live animals
just above their feet. Set them along trails you know
mink are traveling or where they are scenting. Musky
odors left by mink are sure signs of territorial markings
and can be a good place to make a set. Other good locations
are where they are sliding along river or creek beds,
culvert openings or fence holes. Mink will use their
trails over and over so make sets where you know or
suspect they are foraging. Another very effective set
is to bait a "pocket" which you create along a river or
creek bed. Placed in this pocket, the hole should be
just below the water line so the trap is hidden below the
water line. Food lure should be placed above the set and
out of the water so it will release scent. Curious mink
will readily enter the pocket in search of food and get
trapped.

RATE OF APPLICATION:    This will vary from job to job.
Generally, the more traps employed, the quicker you catch your
target animals. Although you can start with only one, it is
suggested that you use 2-3 per set location.

PACKAGING AND COST:   Bridger long spring traps are available in many
sizes. The most common for mink would be #11 or #2 traps. 
These should be able to hold most any size animal.
