Above is the Mohawk trap , developed in the 60,s by Canadian dept of Indian affairs. , again in an effort to find a more humane trap . The Mohawk was made in a six inch round body and a six inch square body , it is a rotating jaw trap like the conibear , a large size of ten inches was also made although app only 2500 were made , these experimental traps were distributed among more experienced trappers for evaluation . they can be found almost anywhere in trappers kits and often are mistaken for original Conibear traps. I should add they all have a small Mohawk Indian head on the trigger latch
