This was my best 20 hrs of hunting ever. Seven in one night and two the next AM along with seven coyote.  A good night, 3x $425.00 = a new rifle and scope!
 A good day on the cage line. Fact my best day. 30 Cages on a 24 hour check.

Would you be willing to show your trigger mechanism in a pic? We were going to build 12-16 of those this past summer and never got around to it. We messed with it a couple times, but I told my partner I'd do some research on developing a good trigger and just never got around to it.

Lance,
The trigger on those cages is the simple "long throw" type.
The treadle has a vertical "throw" rod, that connects to a horizontal trigger rod.
The door actually perches on top of the horizontal rod.
(*Often times a detent is filed into the rod where the door sits, to hold the pan up)
Yancy has gone to using cable for his triggers, lowering pan tension, and travel, tremendously in the process.
Just like with pan stops, and nightlatching, on traditional traps, this change is likely to prove beneficial.
