Stopped by this place in Pearl City IL on our way to dodgeville WI from the Chicago suburbs. Just an outbuilding on the guys farm, but it was good to go. Nice guy, and prices were right; spent less than I would have online even before shipping. We make this trip about once year, and I'll definitely be using him again if possible. And the detour even made for a nice scenic drive to boot! Just thought I'd leave a good review.

Agree 100%, he was one of, if not the biggest booth at last years ITA. Pretty certain he was the only vendor selling traps and he was out of most by early Friday afternoon.

Great guy, always willing to talk and give pointers. If I wasnt 5ish hours south of him I would be a regular at his shop.

I love their body grip stabilizers.
I have several dozen of the 5x5 for my Bridger 150s.


I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.

I picked up a 1/2 dozen in the 160 size, and the traps I also got (Duke's) wouldn't quite fit over them. A quick tweak of the ears (a couple taps on the concrete) and they fit perfectly, ...perfect, no complaints at all, would buy again!

They attend and support a lot of shows and rondys. our Trapper Ed Program has utilized Mike for several of their cages and cubbies for our TE program and they were always very generous with us.
