Schroeders!
John isn't making them any more, but his nephew and a partner are. Well built and very reasonably priced.

Mine 12.5 gauge wire coon proof. Caught a coon in mine last night. Not uncommon to see them move during a thaw but I normally don't see them wandering when the temps are in the teens. Twelve degrees last night and this guy was waiting for me this morning. Mercer's cages. They function well in winter conditions if you take the time to set them up right. I opened the door and let this little one go.

A lot of people think it’s a badger that tore out of their cages but the culprit was a big coon a badger lacks the ability to deal with wire like a coon will.

Comstock. I really like their trigger system and they are made to last.

Ztrap’s cages. Top triggered. No messing with reaching-over-the-pan to get goodies. Williams is second choice but darned close. Used Williams for 25-years.
