bobcat box traps

[TeacherMan]

I was looking at buying some bobcat box traps for my dad in WA. Anyone on the site make them? I have seen Yancy box traps that I really liked but I can't seem to find them. I'm looking for traps around 15" x 24" x 42" Cats seem to really feel comfortable in a trap that size.

thanks

If you cant find them made here in WA you could try the Camtrip cages at cagingbobcats.com
They look good to me and that frame less cages look a lot lighter.  Since all the roads are closed around here that might be a good thing for me.

I have not bought any cage traps and would like to know what others are using also.

Send trapperguy22 a pm.  He might be able to hook you up.

thanks for the info guys! I got an email into cagingbobcats.com
They look like a great set of traps. I like how they go inside each other, I could put a half dozen on a sled really easily.

thanks

Get ahold of BearTrap...a member on this forum...he builds a good one.

He is back ordered until this summer but they will cost me $325 for 3 and that is with shipping. Unless I can find something better I will be getting 3 or 6 depending on how much I can swing. Figure a couple good eastern cats will pay for a 3 pack.

Those are some great looking traps! Look forward to seeing them in use

They are a good looking trap and I have thought about getting some of them myself. I just wonder, since the door is just a free fall door would they freeze up or get jammed with all the snow and ice we have over on my side.

I thought the same thing because I would be using them in your neck of the woods aswell. I have some spray that I put on my coil traps in AK that keeps the springs form freezing. If you put that in the groove it should help. I think I will get at least 3 this summer and give them a shot this next fall.

It won't help you for this season, but if you're anywhere near John Day, Oregon on June 24-26, I'll bet you could find a deal on some traps.  The NTA annual convention has plenty of dealers, tailgaters, and demos. Plus, you don't have to pay shipping fees if you haul it home yourself.
