Can you use a 280 conibear that is not submerged in water? I currently do not own any, but was just wandering, since the iowa code says if you use anything greater than 8 in. it must be submerged in water. Just wandering because a 280 does not exceed 8 in.
Thanks guys and gals

They will be illegal on land before the season begins. They made an error on the regulation handbook and it will be fixed this year and they will again be enforcing it according to two of my COs. LLL

Make sure that you measure them while set at the widest point. there are several traps that increase in jaw size ( fractions if an inch) when set, I would assume this is due to the play in the jaw rivets. When in doubt?  Use a 220! |

If you have some 280's set them and measure them Outside jaw to outside jaw it must be 8 or less inches Iv got a couple 280 Belisles that are legal to use In that way.

was thinking of getting a few as do not have them.anyone know what outside measurements are on what brands? i heard a duke 280 is a little bigger.i looked up in dnr regs and it does say 8 inches from outside jaws,was thinking of getting few along time ago because easier to submerge than 330 if be set.
is beaver easier to get though a submerged 280 or 330 than 1 half or less submerged? i know is alot easier to not submerge alot times to make set and pass up on setting 330s many times in spring because to much work or cannot make good set with submerged trap

Its been my experience that they will swim through a half submerged body grip more readily than submerged at mound sets. I've found it requires a little more specific type setting to really make submerged body grips effective at mound sets. Than again, maybe I just don't know what I'm doing. |
