Traps that “Catch, Hold and Hold-Up,” "They just work!"

New Pan-less Powered Door

These Bobcat cage traps are now being produced in New York to order, custom made to height and width.  Most of the traps we are making are 36 inches in length in both single and double door models.  The traps are generally from 9 to 12 inches wide and from 18 to 24 inches high, but we have also made wider traps.  If a longer trap is required, we can accommodate.  Generally we use 1-1/2 square 12 gage mesh, but also have 1 inch square mesh in both 14 and 12 gage.  We even have 1/2×1 12 and 14 gage mesh that is most often used on smaller traps, lots of options.  The traps pictured are 10.5, 12 and 16.5 wide, while the height varies from 19.5 to 24 high.  The widest trap is 39 inches long.
At the N.Y.S. Trappers Convention we introduced our powered ring door traps and were pleased to see that though there were other live bobcat cage traps available, guillotine door, single door models, trappers often chose our door design, also appreciating the double door option as well as the very light but stable patented wire trigger system.
We believe that a powered ring door system has a number of advantages over a guillotine door trap. First the G door traps stick way up in the air, are more difficult to conceal and drop straight down, sometimes hitting animals in the back, which can result in backing out. The sweeping action of the lock ring door trap, with power, will help push an animal forward, like all of our other traps. G door traps, even those with power assist, do not have continuous power closing them throughout the cycle. A door can be easily lifted by an escaping animal. The time tested, reliable, ring door locking element means that there is no return to a dropping door. It is one way only, down. Even if the rings drop but an inch or two, the door can not be pushed upward. The rings have to move very little to keep the door nearly closed, with no return. Like a constricting snake that closes down on prey as an animal exhales, unlike g door traps that can be pushed upward, the ring door is a one way lock up.
Anyone interested in ordering should contact us well ahead of time as we make the traps on a small scale in between nuisance wildlife calls for beaver, ‘chucks, skunks, etc.
