Positive Sets for Raccoon in Winter

Tim in Ohio doesn’t let the rough weather slow him down in his Nuisance Wildlife Control Business.  He uses positive sets in all sorts of creative ways.  Note the cage in the middle photo.  It is attached vertically while using a nose cone,...

Positive Sets / Chasing Critters into Cages

Many of us have times we need a double door trap to catch an animal on the spot that is trapped in a basement or attic.  Pan traps can sometimes be problematic, too slow and an animal can pass through them without firing the trap.  With the wire trigger,...

Several Traps for Den Sites

We finally got around to setting a couple of traps to remove the varmints at our house.  The larger cage, a 12x12x36 single door trap with a bait door was set for ‘possum.  After catching one the next catch was a bluejay.  Cat food was used for...

When walking to a beaver site, it’s nice to have hands free.  I mentioned carrying straps to Randy Volk in Massachusetts.  Randy took more than 600 beaver in the 12x18x39  Comstock Beaver Cage Traps in two years, so he knows about carrying traps...
