We get a ton of questions about trapping. Casey is coming down in a few weeks so I asked him to get me some traps and prep them for me. He did this video to show how and why he gets his traps ready. Hope you enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRNsoA0e5dA

I hope those #3 Bridgers aren't the traps he's prepping for you to use in bama. #3 Bridger has a 6 1/2' jawspread and we can only use a maximum 6" jawspread.

Inside/outside laminations make most number 3s legal. I know the law is 6", but I've never had a game warden measure a trap. Usually, the only thing they check for is a trap tag.

Doesn't matter if you've been checked before or not! No offense. Just pointing out what the state regs say and those traps are illegal land trapping footholds in Alabama.

I stand corrected! I was going off of the jaw spread given on F and T's website! Thanks for clearing that up Howard!
