Judy and I will be set up in the center of the main building where we have been in past years. I will be giving a demo on Saturday at 1:00 on Cages and Cage Trapping.
This is the first year that we have taller wire trigger, powered door bobcat/fox traps. Over the winter we made some single and a number of double door traps in a new angled powered ring door design and also came up with a bi-fold door bobcat trap. The angled ring door traps can be made to order in both height and width in many combinations to suit. Though we have made some nesting sets of single and double door bi-fold door traps, we are working on simplification to make them easier to produce. The bi-fold door design has received a positive response as this is the first cage trap that has neither a door that sticks up high above the body of the trap nor a door that protrudes in front of the trap, making the traps easier both to conceal and also to cover to keep them out of rough weather, snow and or ice. The powered door means fast closing, while the unique double lock at middle and bottom means your catch will be there when you arrive. With no pan to clog or freeze down, this trigger will work as well in a few inches of snow as it does on bare ground.
Look forward to seeing everyone at the show.
