Default 120's for muskrats

can I use a 120 trap with one safety still on for muskrats? I feel if I take both safetys off a 120 will do too much damage.

any thoughts?

YES, with one safety left on it essentially becomes a 110.

I use the 120 on them with both springs. I have not found excessive damage to the pelt.

I use lots of 120 Bleile's and so far I have not had any trouble with damaged fur but that's just what I have found with the new Bleile hope this helps
