This info may help newer trappers understand trigger positions better.. Put together by the trap research and development part of the fur institute of Canada.

Yes it's a decent publication except that it fails to cover the use of pan triggers on conibear traps. IMO pan triggers are more efficient for consistant humane strikes on mink, marten and fisher, as well as probably other species, when used correctly. By correctly I mean set close to the bait so the animal is stable, not moving through the trap, and standing on the pan or bumping it with its head while working the bait.
Some decent information there. I don't like the Fisher set they show. They will always duck when the trigger is bent forward, who wants a steel wire poking them in the eye? A thin wire between the 2 trigger wires solves that problem.
Good info on trigger positions of trap sets.
