K.O. Dogless Offset Wolf Trap

A dogless design eliminates the 'dog' trigger mechanism, which can be easily bumped or tripped accidentally. This setup provides a more consistent pan tension and ensures the trap fires only when intended, which is critical when targeting large predators.

The 3/8-inch offset allows the jaws to close slightly further, which helps prevent the trap from 'wringing off' an animal's foot. While it leaves a small gap, the heavy-duty springs and frame construction ensure a secure, high-pressure hold.

Because this trap is designed for large predators, you need heavy-duty chain and swivels capable of handling significant force. We recommend using high-quality, welded-link chain and at least two heavy-duty swivels to prevent the animal from twisting out of the trap.

The night latch creates a crisp, clean break when the pan is depressed. It reduces the amount of pan travel required to fire the trap, ensuring that the jaws snap shut immediately upon contact rather than creeping or hesitating.

The factory-applied dip provides a solid base layer of protection against the elements. However, like any steel trap used in harsh field conditions, you should inspect it regularly and consider re-dipping or waxing the trap periodically to maintain maximum corrosion resistance.

Yes, the TS-85 springs are specifically chosen for their power and longevity. They provide the necessary force to close the heavy-duty jaws quickly and keep them locked tight under the stress of a large animal.
