Bridger Coil Spring Trap

The dogless design eliminates the 'dog' or trigger lever, which often gets bumped or bent in the field. This setup allows for more consistent pan tension and a more reliable trigger mechanism, as the pan is directly connected to the frame.

Offset jaws leave a small gap when the trap is closed, which allows the springs to pull the jaws tighter against the animal's foot. This design is specifically engineered to reduce tissue damage while maintaining a secure, high-tension hold on larger animals like coyotes and beavers.

The nightlatch is a small notch on the pan that allows you to set the trap with a very crisp, light trigger pull. It ensures the trap fires reliably even if the pan is bumped or if there is debris under the pan, preventing false triggers.

This is a professional-grade tool designed for experienced trappers who understand wildlife management and trap placement. Because it uses heavy-duty coil springs and lacks safety features for pets or children, it requires careful handling and a solid understanding of local trapping regulations.

While it is designed for larger animals like bobcats and coyotes, the 6.166-inch jaw spread is quite large for smaller pests. Using a trap this powerful on smaller animals may cause unnecessary injury, so it is best to select a trap size specifically matched to your target species.
