Is there a certain one i could look for that wont break the bank. I see ebay has many, but i wouldnt know if i was getting ripped or not. Thanks

Duke has a couple. Another option are traps by Jim River Supplies of South Dakota, under $400.00 Many dealers carry these options. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

If you want to purchase an older authentic bear trap, I would suggest you look at the 415X traps made by Triumph about 100 years ago. They are also great looking, somewhat smaller than those mentioned above and authentic. A very nice specimen can be had for about 450.00.

Unless of course you find one that the seller doesn't know what he has. www.usedtraps.com Please check out my updated inventory of Native American books.

Unless of course you find one that the seller doesn't know what he has. At least $750. What do they typically go for in todays market? I'm interested in picking one up as well and want a fair price.
