This is a wonderful video. I have to adjust my new traps that are the same as these. Wish me luck in catching the varmint's that are killing my chickens and pigeons. Thanks for the video Steve.
Seen alotta how to adjust traps Vids, but let me say this one is by far one of the best.....simple, direct and to the point....no hocus pocus with 50 tools!! Good vid...subscribed!! Happy Trapping!!
I know this is an old video but it was basically the only one that came up in search. I've seen people talk about trap tuning on trapperman forum but no real instructions. This is my first season trapping. Had a miss because a fox or coyote stepped on the pan it fully went down but the dog didn't break loose. Seems like whenever I get the pan level with the jaws it won't let the dog go and snap. I'm going to try crimping the dog a little bit like you did. I have duke 1.5s and 1.75s if that makes any difference. I've had 2 snapped traps from fox because I set the traps with the dog side facing from the dirt hole. Learned to fix that and yesterday missed the one where the dog was stuck even with fully depressed pan. Super frustrating lol.
On the Duke 1.75 oval pan. I have had trouble with the pan getting stuck between the springs. I had to bend up the edges of the pan to stop this. Sorry took so long to reply. Good luck.
No it does not. I have never caught a bird in a trap. Responsible trappers do not use exposed bait near the trap . So there is no reason for a bird to be there. Thank you
@@florenciaignaciaolivaresbe111 Most times bait is not used . The trap is set in the trail of the target animal . If bait is used (such as fox) the bait is buried near the trap (6 or 8 inches) and the animals keen sense of smell will attract it to the bait .
Thanks Steve. Nice tips on trap adjustments. The 1.5duke is a great trap for water trapping or land trapping. I trapped my first ever animal in one. It was a grinner lol.
The trigger play on a Duke is the worse! I believe that trigger adjustment on a Duke brand trap will mean more fur waiting for you. Toe's in your trap don't put fur in your shed, ya' know?! I have about 2 dozen Dukes and I've used them for everything I trap for so I'm not knocking the brand. Yet, it is important that we take the time to tune them before we trap with them. Steve has an easy way of doing his videos but make no mistake folks, there is a lot of helpful info in that 6 minutes. Good one Steve.
I agree ..But they do have good springs ...My only gripe is they are not made in the U.S...I do have trouble with the 1.75 oval pan catching on the spring levers ,so the edges of the pan have to be ground or a bolt put under the pan to limit the drop...Thanks Pennsyltucky Trapper
I used traps for ground hogs and raccoons in the garden.. Just had old rusty leg traps that hung in the tool shed. None of those smarter fur bearing animals.
I have found,with the strength of the new springs any tension is too much..Specially with light footed critters like muskrat and Mink . Thank's for the tip
Your video is excellent! Wish I would have known this years ago. That's why I never caught anything with my pan looking up in the sky. That's why I buy MB traps now. ready to go right out of the box. So instead of $13 for a Duke I spend $19 for an MB and its ready to go. I would rather spend my time trapping then modding traps. I say that and yet I just went into field and stream and manager sold me Duke #2 for $7. I bought them all. Now I have to file the dog, level the pan, loosen pan tension and night latch it. How long is that going to take? 15-20 minutes a trap? It takes a awhile to file the latch right. then the pan tension @ 3 pounds usually have to set the trap 4-5X to get it right.
Good Instruction even though I don't Trap, But enjoy Your Vids Bro!
Well that had to be tough to watch...Thank you
Stalker Steve Not at all!

Never thought about the play in the dog hinge area, will be adjusting mine, thanks! As always nice videos!
If you have that pan drop with a light footed critter , they may jump clear before the trap closes ...Coyote,Bobcat
Great information Steve. I've been trapping for awhile and this taught me a few things. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Awesome man...Thank's
Just got 5 of those on the way , taking my basic and yote trapping course Aug 10th. Thanks for the info.
Awesome. Congrats and thanks for watching
@@SteveandSusiesHomestead coyotes and beaver are really bad out here in my state, no limits during season.
awesome Steve ....didn't know there was so much to adjust on a leg hold.....thanks for sharing
There are very few trap's that are ready to go right out of the box....Thank's
There's always something to do to new traps. Great info and thanks for sharing.
lol Love getting new shiny thing's in the mail
@@SteveandSusiesHomestead my Duke #2 is hard to set like you gotta fight the dog to set it any tips how to fix it
if it is to long just bend the frame back a little where the dog attaches
@@SteveandSusiesHomestead it's like really tight you gotta play with it to much to get the jaw back to place the dog
is your pan above the jaws when set ?
Good I’m scared of that does it hurt if u put ur hand in it
Why sure it would hurt a little if you got your finger in the trap, but its not strong enough to break any bones... thanks
@@SteveandSusiesHomestead oh ok it looks huge lol
Does putting the pan flat produces that less weight is needed to activate the trap? could it cause for bird to be accidentaly caught?
No it does not. I have never caught a bird in a trap. Responsible trappers do not use exposed bait near the trap . So there is no reason for a bird to be there. Thank you
@@SteveandSusiesHomestead And then how do you put your bait?
@@florenciaignaciaolivaresbe111 There are videos on how to do the bait.

Ya they are ..I have a bunch of them...for the money...Got to love the grinner's...Thank's
Really great info thank you! Do these principles apply to any foothold in general or are some trap tweaks more animal specific?
They sure do . Thanks for watching.
I love tinkering with my traps. About to do a laminating video. Keep up the good work!
very cool...I haven't tried that yet...Thank's
I wish I could have seen the whole thing! Picture was cut off at the top a lot. But your information is great! Thanks!!!

LMAO yes I did...Thats how I roll

any good trap supplier should have them.. Ebay sells traps
My TH-cam Troll trap isn't working. You got any mods for that???
Everybody need's a troll...That's what make you lagit ....
Where can bye this??
Any good trapping site
Funke trapping and supply has way cheaper traps than eBay, if you compare them, you will see the difference.

You shouldn't have to adjust a "new" trap.
unless you go with the high dollar traps. everyone I have ever bought needs tweaking
