We got back from the convention in Herkimer Saturday night. It was a good show for us as we sold just about everything we brought and took orders for others.
Trappers are showing more interest in the unique Comstock bobcat / fox cage traps. We are making bobcat traps to order in our shop in New York, both single and double door in a an angled powered ring door trap with wire trigger that we can build to order in just about any size desired. They can be made from 9 to 15 inches wide and from 18 to 24 high in any combination. These are popular dimensions, but we can make them in almost any size within reason, larger or smaller.
We also have a bi-fold door bobcat cage trap that allows for flush mounting and also can be easily covered from rain, ice and snow, freezing and thawing, which is the enemy of any trapping. Unlike guillotine door traps, the bi-fold is the only trap that lends itself to being covered completely and easily to keep it out of rough weather. Warm or cold weather with dry conditions like the west are easy to deal with, but regular precipitation of both rain and snow in the north and east, coupled with temperature changes that go above and below freezing almost daily is a real challenge. Covering a cage will solve most of the issues. Difficult to make, we will simplify the bi-fold door system as time permits.
