Howdy... I'm a new trapper here. I got my first set of conibear traps for christmas (today duh! lol). Anyways, I've used my old live traps before but never conibears. I was wondering if any of you would be so kind as to help me out here. Thanks!!

Hey who are you?

 

[Jacque]

Whose this? lol... I didn't know this is where you said to go. I found this place on a search.

 

[Huntin Horseman]

Yeah this is and thta other one I told you about are my two favorite sites on the net. This is proly the best out there for anything you need to find out. There isn't a ton of trappers on this site but there's enough to get what you're looking for. Have fun and I bet you'll get as addicted as me

 

[Jacque]

Probably. I hope I can find some good stuff. I can't wait to start. I wanna do drags with Charlie!

 

[Huntin Horseman]

That'd be cool if you could start hunting with Charlie.So I guess you guys didn't stay at Grandma's very long?

 

[Jacque]

No not really... I know... Jim can't know I'm gonna hunt with him though because he wouldn't let me. I told him once before and he flipped. I dunno why... whatever though!

 

[Huntin Horseman]

LOL tell him he's gonna make a bigger sissy out of him than he already is

J,

First of all we need to know what size they are and what you would like to trap. Once we know that we can help.

I believe they are # 1 1/2 double coil. I wanna catch either ****, mink, or muskrat. I'm not sure that these will work for the last two but if they do it will be good. I'm on property where there is a decent sized pond, wetlands area, and a stream.

Conibars don't come in #1 1/2. Here are the most popular sizes
110 = 4" opening 1 spring
120 = 4" opening 2 springs
160 = 6" onening 2 springs (Very good **** trap)
220 = 7" opening 2 springs (Check Regs. before setting on dry land)
280 = 8" opening (Very good Otter trap/will work on most Beaver)
330 = 10" opening( Best Beaver trap made)
