OUCH!After having a 1 1/2 double coil spring trap shut on my thumb while making a set,this would be a piece of cake!
YES INDEED! And only had one hand free to depress 2 spring levers.Fun times on the old trap line!OUCH!
Hurts thinking about it.YES INDEED! And only had one hand free to depress 2 spring levers.Fun times on the old trap line!
It only hurts when I laugh!Hurts thinking about it.
I did it with a mb750, setting for beaver, attached to a drowner cable, both thumbs. I was able to drag a small rock into the water to set the trap on, use one knee and my other foot to compress the springs enough to get my thumbs out. Trap long enough and everyone gets caught sooner or later.After having a 1 1/2 double coil spring trap shut on my thumb while making a set,this would be a piece of cake!
Just so happens I know what that is,the mb750.Just about the baddest beaver trap made since toothed jaws were outlawed.

LOL! I can see where a good trap jaw across the fingers might release the bowelsA lot of people don't realize this design dates back to the US 1700's.
It wasn't a trap or a game then, rather a cure for constipation!!
That will wake you up in the morning boy.......After having a 1 1/2 double coil spring trap shut on my thumb while making a set,this would be a piece of cake!
I can plow a field all day long. Step on rat traps all day long!!! Cause a country boy can survive.......When I was in high school in the early 70's my best friend, his brother, and another good friend of ours would wait until dark take off our shoes and socks, set the mousetrap turn out the lights and walk around the room until someone stepped on it. The guy who stepped on it would set it and set out until the end of the game, Each guy done this until everyone stepped on it and no one was left and then start over. No drinking or smoking left handed cigarettes. Just something country boys done for fun.
You're lucky it wasn't a Belisle, you may still be there.Has a 220 conibear snap on my hand. Lucky only one safety link had slipped off. I was able to depress the open spring with my free hand and get free. Still smarted though.
