Yeah I'll get me a few cause the DPs have done their job only had one robbing me and pretty sure I got him a few weeks ago. They were worth it so I'm sure I'll like the daggers even more.

You won’t hear too many people talk about the dps being robbed. Cause they haven’t been using them long enough or set too many. They’ll knock them over and bat at them til the bait falls out. Foxes will play with them too.

Yeah I remember you saying that when it was happening for weeks. I finally caught him on camera doing it then I got him another way, but one out of 50ish in two years ain't so bad.

Yeah they’re better I can’t legally use them here. Mine have to be pull only. The coon daggers are made both ways. Go with them. They’re more expensive but they’re worth it. You’ll know as soon as you go to set them especially with the safety trigger position.

I have noticed the pull type don't work as well on the smaller animals, so I started setting them with the "release pin" a little closer to to going off. It seems to help.

Yes sir I do the same if I find a trap cleaned out or fired off. Another thing about DP traps is imo they work a little better when pushed into the ground on less of an angle.
Sometimes it’s hard to do depending on soil type but I’ve noticed they’ll work the trap easier when they can reach down and in instead of having to lift their arm up and over then down into the trap.

Yeah there’s always a couple animals out there that are too smart for their own good. Lol
For those I usually just snare them. I’ve never had a raccoon refuse a snare. Unfortunately I had a coyote refuse one last year. Tracks in the snow proved it. Walked right up and then walked around. Never caught em either.

These two pullets will trade licks with anyone I've got a few blacks so kinda hard to tell them apart just yet, but the blue gal I can.

Then we got sparky here we will see if he's so lively once I take his momma.
