I just took my trapping course this past spring. I bought a couple Bridger #9 dogless and some snares to try to trap some wolves this winter. I've watched countless videos on how to boil and clean the traps, but i'm still at a loss for where to start and how to do it properly.
Anyone looking to have someone come watch them boil, dye and clean their traps for this coming season so i can learn? I live in Calgary.
You can really get lost in the endless amounts of info online. With waxing and everything else. I boil my snares in a pot with some baking soda to knock the shine off.
For foot holds you can boil outside or pressure wash the factory grease off. Then I just store my snares and footholds outside somewhere free of contaminating scents. Footholds will rust over time. I have spray painted some and then let them air out for months.
Was just informed that the Bridger #3 was legal only with dog not dogless. I think this is the same with the bridger traps used for wolves. Dogless not certified.
Who informed you? When we were testing traps, we were allowed to alter the triggering pan/dawg mechanism. The scientist allowed this as they claimed it made no difference to the end necropsy result.
Currently you can use Bridger dogless if offset. But do double laminate them for best result and to hopefully be compliant down the road.
The testing performed so far was done to create a computer model for lab testing
traps. More will be passed once the model is complete and recognized

Dogless Braun #9 with the rubber jaws are certified aren’t they?
