Couch bound for a few weeks after surgery yesterday. Thinking about tinkering with my welder once I can move around a little better. Lets see some homemade cage traps, especially if you built them out of unconventional stuff like metal barrels or something. I have a ton of scrap metal, pipes etc laying around thought it would be fun to build something and trap some critters with something homemade. . Need some inspiration to pass the time during my recovery.

Here's a bear trap

Looks like a nice place for a wood fired pizza

Praying your healing up properly!!!

Thanks Grousewit, Ive been contemplating a health awareness post, my issue is pretty much something that could effect 99% of the members here and I discovered it during a self check. Maybe i’ll write that up with my new found down time.

I'll add some details Inna bit

Not a cage trap, but a homemade wolf trap.

cool contraption Wolfie, I had a feeling you’d post on this one. A single door guillotine door is what i was thinking debating on a pull cord with bait or a pan. I can’t seem to find the horse panels anywhere locally, all i can find is 4” by 4” livestock panels.

Bearcat, the links don’t work but dang i’d like to see how you built a wolf trap

Got this on a trade looks like a kit maybe from the adjustments on it, it works.



My coon proof 14X14X36 12.5 gauge coon cages.

Look at jimmy comstack and kirk decalbs web sites

Some ring locks I made for a guy

Made 20 of these...17 were stolen.

Yeeeeppp I'm stealing that trigger

Better off with pan imo. Less of a pain baiting. But you can make a single door pretty easy did a video in YouTube of how I built mine. You can usually order horse panel in from the local co-op for no extra charge , thank they will just tops it on with their next shipment of regular panel. Here's a cool one somone who watched my video sent me


And my video

Nice.

They won't post for some reason, and my phone went belly up yesterday so I can't any off it. Sorry.
