Duke's are no longer the best budget trap!

#trapping
Well this was my comparison of these two models, the Duke #1 coilspring and the Wolf Creek #1 coilspring double jaw, I know this is just comparing one model from each brand, but you can expect the same quality and design aspects to be the same throughout the brand. I hope I helped some of you make an educated decision on what trap to buy, thanks for watching, leave a like, and subscribe, as it would help me to grow the channel.

Which trap brand do you prefer and why? I'd love to hear you opinions and experiences.

Watching from northern Alaska and just wanted to say good job. I have trapped up into the Brooks Range of Alaska for 50 years and hope to continue though I am now in my 70'S. Mostly trap marten, fox, wolverine and ermine on my lines. Take care young man, Dave S in North Pole, Alaska

Thanks for the complement! It means a lot comimg from some one who has so much experience.

Thank you for creating and sharing. I'll have to check out Wolf Creek, they look to be very nice traps. And yes, made in USA does mean a great deal. Might make the difference between an American having dinner on the table, but I'd certainly choose South Korea or Taiwan over anything produced via the CCP.
Great video!

Glad you appreciated the video!

Thanks for the video. I had never heard of Wolf Creek since there are no vendors in my area. I was planning to purchase a half dozen Duke 330s from my local co-op but checked out Wolf Creek 10x10s. Even after shipping Wolf Creek cost considerably less. I bet the quality is as good or better than the Dukes also.

[@AmericanOutdoorLiving]

I'm glad you found the video helpful, and the Wolf Creek was definitely beefier, but one thing to note is that the springs on this Wolf Creek were a little weaker than the springs on the Duke, before and after one season of being set, not sure how important that is, but just thought I would let you know.

Need to modify them, or buy the 550 or 650’s

[@AmericanOutdoorLiving]

I center swiveled my Duke #1 coils for coons, and I could (maybe should) double jaw them as well, but these are not intended for coyotes, so I don't need 550s or 650s for this purpose, but I could see myself getting some in the future, as they are well made traps, both the 550s and 650s from Duke or MB.

[@pensnut08]

You get an otter in a Duke that isn't baseplated..... Not saying they CAN'T hold one and survive... But I baseplated all my Duke 1.5 double jaw coils after a run in.

[@Shilling1721]

I’ve caught a coyote in a duke 1.5 cs set at a pocket set for coon

Anyone willing to do a review while standing in a puddle the whole time, is alright by me.💯👍👍

[@AmericanOutdoorLiving]

Thanks! I had waiters on though, so it wasn't bad.

Dukes aren't American made

[@AmericanOutdoorLiving]

Did I call the Duke American made? I meant to refer to the Wolf Creek.
