While I was doing some online browsing the other day I saw these things for the first time, and wondered if anyone had tried them. They look like a cross between a body grip and a huge rat trap and one is supposed to be able to use them without a box. This year, with all the blow down, its just been more easy to trap some of my areas on snowshoes rather than cutting (often more like tunnelling, and extremely sketchy in some spots) some of the trails open. Its working out fairly well, I'm enjoying the time off the sled, and I think I might continue to do snowshoe loops off the sled trails in the future. The idea of a more mobile trap system sounds pretty appealing for this type of thing.

Bush, I am doing more walking from Sled this year as well. We had extreme windshear/blowdown on line. Then after heavy clearing of trails and cutlines, the logging companies come and cut All the timber anyway, so just not worth the effort. Also keeps belly down through winter.

Exactly, the area I'm trapping isn't getting logged next winter, but I've been notified its in the works so I'm not sure opening up the trails is even worth it at this point. I've been cutting hard since the end of November and I still have a long way to go.


Either way, I think I might order a half dozen of those traps and try them.
