try bridger #3 pans, you might have to change the dogs out depending on how your dog was trimmed.

i saw that pit pans makes one for the northwoods, ever try them? i had planned on putting new dogs on with the pans just to make sure everything would be compatable and work for adjusting, thanks Dawgz

I would think the Bridger pans and dogs would work but I can't say for sure. I have put alot of Pit Pans on #3 Bridgers and really liked them.

i think it will be a good investment, these traps come with the nightlatch and they are thin metaled latch and hair triggered buggers, i think my fingers will thank me

someday guys, i will have built up to be like you, but for now, this is enjoyable enough for us, need to pull some irons from the fire, but it seems everytime i do, 2 more get added, right now till the boy gets alittle older and can do more, we are using the KISS method,

Nothing wrong with the KISS method and bigger isn't always better.

very true there

I'm a north woods fan and I also night latch. I've been using them for about 30 yrs. You can increase the pan tension by tightening the pan bolt this is the way I do it. You can also get new dogs from Top Dog these are longer and then file the notch deeper this is a cheaper way to go.
