And the #11 LS is very, very well made. Versatile trap for coon, skunk, mink, rat and I've heard will hold otter. Real name Eric The sharpest hammer in the box of crayons.

kytrapper trapper K Joined: Dec 2006 SE Kentucky	I asked the question what will happen to all the equipment and maybe someone would buy it and restart. I've wondered what happened to a lot of the trap making equipment over the years. I'm sure some were just flat worn out but I wondered where what made traps like the Triple J, Woods n Water, Northwoods, Lambsaver, Bigelow are today. About all modern traps are sure better but it'd be neat to see some of them made and sold on a limited basis again.
