[QUOTE="Farm manager, post: 4384630, member: 10194"] For cats and coyote the #4 Duke is a really good trap. Quite a bit heavier built than the #3's. They can be used straight out of the box but yes, a little tuning will help them. Just a piece of advice especially for folks new to trapping: Do not put too much emphasis on brand names! Learn to use what you have or can afford and make it work for you. A fellow running a big trapline on the farm I take care of is running around a gross of Victor #3 Softcatch and they are doing fine. Other than being night latched and the pan tensioned adjusted what else would they need. The Duke #3 isn't much different. If you want to spend a hundred dollars or more per doz to get a product that you are more comfortable with or have more confidence in by all means go for it. It always tickles me to see a buddy of mine take his 30+ year old Rem 1100 and out shoot folks with $10,000+ fancy O/U shotguns. Skill and confidence will always out perform the fanciest highest dollar equip. [/QUOTE]
