I was hoping there would be more companies getting their traps certified so we have a bigger selection. Some of the traps that are listed are legal but still not really the best trap for a certain species.
For example, the foot hold for Wolf is listed as Victor #3 soft catch, any wolf trapper knows this is far from the optimal trap for wolves. Much rather have the MB 750 certified, or the #9 Alaskan.
With the Lynx, We are required to used one of three Victor #3 foothold, or the foot snare. There are alot of foot holds out there that will work as well or better, but have not been tested so it's a no go. Or go to conibear bodygrip and for now use what ever you please....
