Yes Paul We did in fact acquire Thompson Snares.

To be honest, We are very excited to have done so. To be part of such a rich and historic part of the trapping industry is to me an honor. Raymond Thompson Started Thompson snares way back in 1918 and patented his first snares design in 1927 Making this company over 100 years old. There's not to many trapping supply companies out there that can say that. We plan on bolstering the company name and get it out there more. Most trappers under the age of 35 have never heard of Thompson snares. We also plan on keeping with tradition and continue to make the snares with 100% American made parts. Many of which are made in house on our own machines. We do plan on making one small change to the line of snare. That is we will be loading all snares unless otherwise told not too. This will increase the performance of each snare and aid in the catch rate!

The purchase also included some books that if you have not read, I promise is well worth the time.
