properly set,the right size trap,offset or not offset,all these factors and more come into play.Properly used they are just what they say a leg hold trap and they hold an animal only. One huge factor with ANY trap,is the heat,ive seen just as many animals die of stress in a box trap as a leghold. Most humane in my book is the conibear simply because it doesnt allow the animal to suffer. One big factor with a leghold is where it catches the animal.Caught up high on the shoulder will cause far more pain and stress than a proper catch just above the foot. the trouble is most folks buy the largest trap they can find thinking it will catch more or can be used for more types of animals,far better use the smallest trap you can,and if you have a animal that can pull loose double spring or four coil it. A leg hold trap doesnt have to cause excessive pain and suffering ,but it requires a little more thought and stuff than simply setting a box trap in the yard. Any trap that breaks a leg is way wrong.some animals will chew off a leg,such as a beaver,but a good beaver set will drown the animal quickly.Like i say, theres nothing wrong with a leghold trap,and a good set is quite humane , allowing a animal access to shade and things, but they require a certain amount of thinking,skill , and knowledge of the animal your after that most folks dont have these days.They have some mistaken belief that a box trap is more humane but imporoperly set they can be far worse.

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
