I've had the trap for nearly 30 years and had basically forgotten about it until recently when I cleaned my garage. The old gentleman I got it from had removed the springs and hid them so no one would steal the trap. When he gave it to me, he couldn't remember where he had hid them. The drag is pretty cool!

Bob Providing wild fur to the industry at below the cost of production for over 50 years. Mostly carbon neutral since 1948.
