He says he’s hoping to have some ready for sale by the first of the year but from the sound of it he’s already got fifty or sixty dozen on the waiting list "I have two guns, one for each of ya."

Sure it allows for a stable trap, but once the foot is caught and the animal pulls, it will not act like an actual center swivel. That swiveling bar had better be as hard an woodpecker lips to avoid being bent as the animals pulls. I may well be picking nits here, but that is what I see. It may work just fine. If it can also swing down so it's inline and pulls from the center after a catch it would be great. Would like to see the bottom view.

I set it and handled it for awhile, and cannot see a fault in it. The biggest obsticle he faces is making them cheap enough so the average trapper can afford them!

The type of guy who would buy 550s (when they were USA made), Sterling's, Jake's etc.. In my opinion anyways. I checked the out at the Western. Nice guy and amazing traps. The engineering and prototyping that went in to those had to be mind numbing. Truly innovative. My question is this:. The problem they are created to solve is misses due to conventional pan designs? Is that really a problem for folks? ML http://cagingbobcats.com/
