No.2 Bridger Dogless 4 coil trap. Any body on here run one of these? I can buy some at a good deal, so I want to here opions of those who have used the new No.2 Dogless Bridgers

Good built trap. I've only got 2 of them but I've caught a couple coyotes and fox with them and they hold.

Got a place with LOTS of sand to trap next. I can get a deal on Bridger No 2s OR Bridger No.3 Dogless Full Modified . For 200 a dozen i may give the 3s a try.

The #3 is over 6"s on jaw spread on the bridgers. Your gonna have to stay with the #2 to be legal in bama.

These No. 3 are inside laminated. 6 1/16 th outside BUT 5 and 9/16s inside so they will be legal in Alabama. Their a BEAST of a trap and I will only use them in sand , on hunting clubs where no dogs should be. I like MB-650s, but these are MUCH cheaper.

I have 6 of the Bridger #2 dogless that I got on 40's recommendation. They are the 4 coil, offset, modified. They have done really well and are easy to set. I will be ordering more.

Thanks. Any idea of what type of pan tension the traps have? I like about 3-4 lbs for coyotes. How does the trap adjust out? Does it have creep? Do they go off smoothly?

I have a dozen 2s and they are good traps. I had to adjust the pan to flatten it out, just loosen up a bolt and tap the pan out. I did a little file work on the dog to lighten the tension, but it is nice and crisp and a nice built trap.

So what lbs do they go off at? Im wanting 3-4 lbs. IS it more or less than 3-4 lbs? What is the tension like , in lbs?

You'll have to do some tuning on them to get the creep out and level them back up. You'll be happy with pan tension on them also. Like Coonhunter said they're a nice built trap.

They sound pretty good. I my get the full modified No.3 , there under 6 inchs in side. Arkanas has the same 6 inch inside jaw spread that we have. And of friend of mine from their has some Bridger No 2 and No 3 that he wants to sell. Thanks for the info.

I have not checked the pad weight, but would guess about 4 lbs going by feel. Mine have not needed any tinkering to get the pan level. When I feel the trap click in, it is level.

I went with them because of the size. I had to do a lot of filing and working with mine to get them on a hair trigger at 4 lbs. Had one or two that wouldn't do it and there is a little creep. Probably overkilled it. They're like a Jewel trigger. Break like glass

Break like glass is excellent! I dont mind itf their 4 lbs. That = 4 lbs is a good weight for catching coyotes. Thanks!

I don't have a tester, so I can't give you an exact number but mine are light. A rabbit can set mine off if that gives you a better idea.

Thats sounds good. I like the info you guys have given. im going to get 1 dozen of the NO. 2s AND 1 dozen of the NO.3s fully Modifided = inside laminated to be Alabama legal and give them a try in some sand!

I have a dozen and like them. I did some file work on mine and actually got them a little too light for my liking. I can't keep coons out of them.

I finally got a tester and mine are set right at 3 pounds.

I got some No.2 Dogless Bridgers and some No 3 Dogless Bridgers WITH inside laminations to be AL. legal. I was not impressed. I sold them and bought more MB-550s!!!
