Neighbor gave me 5 Havaheart traps that he was going to throw away. coon had trashed them. 4 were fixable.1 had the side torn . I had to make new trip arms for 2 more and the other had the pan badly twisted.
It was kind of a challenge to adjust all of them. I don't have any experience with the Tomahawk traps.
I've made a dozen of my own. Much better quality.

Tomahawk is permanently off my list. They contribute to Alley Cat Allies and other groups the support dumping cats into the wild. It also doesn't help that most of those groups are also anti trapping/hunting.

I'd look at Safeguard if that style is what your wanting.

Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten about that.

If you use the havaharts for coon, make sure you reinforce the cage wire with hog rings. The stock clips are just thin aluminum/tin like the ones you buy for rabbit cages. I/ve lost coon due to these substandar clips. And always one you HAD to catch.

Not sure if you can get the Wickenkamps in Canada, but they are certainly coon proof and reasonably priced.
