Caught by Both Feet

Question for all of you trappers.

My brother in law who is new to trapping caught this coyote in this picture this week. Is it not unusual to catch any animal including coyotes by both front feet in the same trap? The only way I can't figure he caught it that way is for the coyote to have pounced on the trap with both feet together or the trap didn't trigger until he put the other foot beside first, Have any of you every done this before ?

Looks like a duke #2. About every 20 or so coyotes I gave it happen. Try offsetting the trap more right or left of the hole and you will reduce the occurrence of this.

That's what I was thinking, coyotes dang near fill up my 550's and number 2's, that looks like a duke but more more like a number 4.

Maybe the poster will chime in, but anything duke makes larger that a #2 isn’t legal in Georgia unless it’s been laminated on the inside. Just FYI.
