Conibear
Wildlife
Traps
 |
-----------------
Extend spring so it is
pointed directly away from the trap. Then grip and
compress the spring. |
 |
Keeping
spring compressed, pull trap frames together with other hand.
If a Conibear Safety Gripper is available, set it over the jaws
to hold them in place. |
 |
Position
trigger and dog at desired location along frame and then set
trigger in preferred notch of dog. |
 |
Be sure
trigger is secure within notch of dog. Then grip
compressed spring and release frames slowly. Release the
Conibear Safety Gripper if one is being used. Trap is now
ready for use. Spring can be swung to side if necessary
for desirable setting position. |

Accessories to Help You Set Conibear
Traps
 |
Trap Setting Tool
This handy 20" tool lets you
apply strong leverage to compress the springs on Conobear and
long-spring traps of all sizes. This tool is a good
time-saver. |
 |
Conibear Safety
Gripper
This safety gripper lets you make Conobear sets easily and
safely, even difficult underwater sets. If the trap is
inadvertantly triggered, the Conibear Safety Gripper grabs and
holds the jaws. |

Oneida Victor® Soft Catch®
Wildlife Trap Setting Instructions
| 1. All land traps should
be staked with the factor chain. A lap link may be added
to facilitate staking. Do not add extra chain, except for
use with a drag or grapple.
2. Traps should be set in
such a manner that large sticks, limbs and brush will not
interfere with the animal's movement in the trap.
3. Traps may be dyed and
waxed, but the Oneida Victor Soft Catch should be waxed with the
jaws closed to allow the soft pads to work properly. Flex
pad with thumb to remove wax as some types of wax may cat as a
lubricant.
4. Pan bolts must be
tightened so the pan will hold its own weight and not fall
without being depressed (or 1 lb. weight). End of dog
should engage trigger. For best results, pan must be level
or slightly above the level of the jaws in the set position. |
7. In
frozen soil, mix a tablespoon of calcium chloride with the dirt
to prevent freezing. (Calcium chloride has no odor for the
animal to detect and may be reduced to powder in a blender if it
is done a cup at a time. However, trap must be waxed to
prevent rusting which could cause the animal to detect the
trap.) 8. A cone
shaped trap bed will facilitate trap bedding.
Note:
In most cases, sprung traps are a result of improper pan
adjustment or improper bedding. Also, if the pan isn't
adjusted, an animal can be caught off the pads on the jaw stops
and possibly injured. |
 |
Pad Replacement
To replace pads (a) unscrew
three screws and remove protective cover. (b) depress
springs with feet and open jaws, (c) remove old pads. (d)
replace with new pads. Place one hand around a jaw with
the palm side of your hand against the face of the pad and
squeeze hard as you re-attach the cover with the three screws.
Then repeat with the other jaw. This keeps the pad held
securely under the cover so when the trap is in sprung position,
the pads should just touch, or have a very slight space between
them. Do not force the cover screws down too tight,
just tight enough to secure the cover over the pad so when you
push down on the edge of the pad away from the edge of the
cover, it will be secure and not pull out. Do not
over-tighten. |
| 5. Stake
chain outside of trap on loose jaw side to right or left of
cross to facilitate bedding spring-in-chain.
6. When setting trap, do not
force dog over edge of pad to push down as this tends to roll
pad edge under the dog. Depress springs, push jaws down,
flip dog over jaw so it pushes down flat on pad. Otherwise
trap may fire prematurely. |

Oneida Victor® Trap
Pan Adjustment Setting Instructions
 |
For fox, coyote, coon
and similar weight animals:
On coil spring traps, the
adjusting bolt on the pan shank may be tightened to eliminate
the chance of capturing smaller animals.
Tighten the pan bolt
(turn bolt in completely, then back out) to lightly hold 6"
pliers (approximately one pound). Place the tip of the dog
in the trigger slot just enough to catch the tip. |
| For water trapping with uncovered
traps: Set pan
slightly higher than jaws to catch swimming animals.
Pan should be level with
jaws for a land set trap door effect. Raise or lower the
pan by bending the dog-end of the cross. |
