Hope they didn't bite each other too much.
Where did you get the 1" X 1" ? Did you have to buy a 100' roll?
I had to mend a cage trap, 23" X 18" X ~ 48", collapsible, that I'd bought on line a couple years ago. It's caught a couple raccoons at a time, but two weeks ago I think I caught a coyote and it chewed and pulled off the 1/2" hardwear cloth on the back wall and pulled down the rod frame X. What ever had been in it was gone - no tracks. My husband got me some "cut steel". Haven't had any customers yet.

one more i bought that wire at the farm store in chehalis, i did not have to buy a whole roll it is cheaper to by the whole roll though. i might buy some more for next year i need more traps!!!!
Adam,
Just curious what you paid for the wire. I just bought a 100' roll of 1"x2" and paid $234 with the tax. Just trying to compare prices.

This was 1x1 wire but it was like 3.50 a foot there is a price break if you buy a whole roll that is what i am going to do this spring. What do you use the 1x2 wire for cats or beaver/otter? I had a otter get out of a aswim through yesterday i have never had that before otter track all over in the snow and the dorr completly busted on the down stream side of the trap. That really sucked!!!

I been useing the 1x2 for the cat traps and the swim throughs. I should add that is the 48" wide and 14 gauge. Haven't had any problems so far.
I'm wondering about the swim throughs for ctter. Seen tracks in the snow where they have detoured around them.
Missed a cat too because a limb broke off and fell down and fouled the door.
Been an unlucky week for me.

I have caught two otters in that same swim through that i lost that one in the other day. so they do work i just put a dive stick over each end and fence it off, i may be getting some going around them too!!! but with the lack of snow its hard to tell.
