Have any of you guys ever ran one? Or even heard about it? I'll post link below. I have not ran one yet.
I have not perfected the step down set yet. I get frustrated with the shape or size or depth of the hole. Or can't get it bedded.I may have to try that. I have had my best luck with step downs. Did I miss it or did he not use any polyfil or pan cover?
They dry their peat all year after sifting.I did a little bit researching after watching that video, and some of these guys doing videos are using peat moss with no pan cover or polyfill. One video though the guy said he missed a catch on one with a fox where too much of the peat moss got under his pan. Interesting idea, I may have to try.
Peat moss won't keep a pan from going down, you need a lower pan tension on canine traps if wanting to be consistent with fox. If targeting gray fox run even less pan tension, they will dance all over a 3lb pan.I did a little bit researching after watching that video, and some of these guys doing videos are using peat moss with no pan cover or polyfill.

My primary target is coyotes. I really have little interest in catching anything else.Peat moss won't keep a pan from going down, you need a lower pan tension on canine traps if wanting to be consistent with fox. If targeting gray fox run even less pan tension, they will dance all over a 3lb pan.
