Korr's trapping season.

[Smossy]

Sure smossy I will will try to set up a few pics on how to. In my first year yes I built gravity single door guiliteen style doors but now  I'm only building swim throughs with spring powered doors and those are all I've caught  everything in this year is the sw throughs.

How do those work?

I tried to upload a video but don't know how. Tomorrow I will work on some step by step how build and a video on the finished project.

Here's a pic of one swim through I built today. That can be set up laying down for beaver or they can be set standing up for bob cat, it can also be set using only one door.

This is one of the doors before wrapping it with 14guage 1"x2" wire mesh. The deminsions of the trap are 18"x12"x48".

Thanks Korr. Where do you buy the connibear dogs, and trigger? I'm keeping my eye's open for a cheap welder. What kind of welder do you have?

[hardkorrhunter]

I order the triggers, dogs, springs and j-clips through f&t trading post. I just run a little easy mig 100 that I picked up at the pawn shop for $120.

[Turner89]

That's great! How much you figure you have into that one trap $ wise?

[hardkorrhunter]

Maybe $35.

This is a pic of that weasel box its 8"x8"x somewheres around 12" it has two 2" holes in the front and back the one in the back has 1/2"x1/2" wire mesh tacked in. The lid is hinged in the back and has a screen door latch in the front. Simply bait it and place a standard rat trap inside. I put a wooden wedge under the springs to give a little smackin power.
