Put the Dekalb traps to the test
« on: February 20, 2013, 08:57:52 AM »
 Caught these super blankets in my Dekalbs Advanced Trap swim throughs.  they are 36" long and 12 by 12.  These are some of the largest I have ever caught. :tup:  Didn't see any sign of a stuggle and traps worked perfect. Three traps three beavs in two nights.  They are powder coated military green and easy to set..I think the wire is american made.  These beaver have had it too good for ten years. :chuckle:

 NICE CATCH.  I bought one Kirk Dekalb traps from advanced trap .com the 39x17x12, and one from comstock it's 36x12x12. I didn't know Dekalb had a 36x12x12? He advertises a 36x10x12. Trapperguy22 go advanced trap .com you can get the price plus shipping on the web site. Comstock does the same thing. Shipping is where we take in the shorts with these traps. I got my dekalb trap on a thursday and by that saturday morning had my second beaver. #50 & #48  beaver since then a #48 and a kit, can't seem to find any. Hope things go better for you onetrapper.

You should give Advanced trap a call and tell them you saw Darryls swim thrus on Washington hunt forum.  This exact trap may not be shown but they will be glad to make you some.  They are very helpful.
