is 'the trip' kinda liek a hook and when u lift the place where there step in it hooks and stays there?

why though? a beaver i thought was never that big, i use a #3 coil spring for my woodchucks, and the jaws arnt nearly as big as those

It isnt common but Beaver can reach close to eighty pounds. I prefer a #4 when I use a foothold for beaver. I think #5s are better suited for wolf. You usually use a slightly larger trap for water animals because they are a little harder to hold and most footholds are set on a drowning rig. Which needs enough weight to work. I prefer to use a 330 Connibear though.

hi, great video. i was wondering. how does the strike pan set off the trap? ive been looking on the web but i couldnt find a picture taken at an angle that would allow me to see how it could work. before you set off the trap i saw that you set a clamp over a jaw and hooked it somewhere onto the strike pan. could you explain that for me, or better yet tell me where I can find a picture that shows that part of the trap? thanks again for posting this vid.

set it on your knee with your hands.

the trick is to get hands close to the spring eyes so you can control the way they close
