Sure wish I would have had the foresight to buy a bunch back then but coyotes weren't here yet. 10 years later they were everywhere. The first Sterling I saw at a convention was 82.


Common sense catches alot of fur..

The very first ones I saw, was when Glen Sr. showed up at the NTA convention in 1977.

He was selling them for 9.00 each (in '77) if you bought a dozen and V 1.5 coils were 30.00 a doz. Coons had hit 20.00 with very little grading and coyotes were 15.00. 10 years later we were at 6.00 coons and 5.00 coyotes with a lot of grading,,,,,, so for some of us who started in the 60's inflation and deflation is a way of life. I have one of those white lettered Sterlings and another one with the split wire coil springs. Brings back a few memories.................................. the mike

Glenn Sterling knew what he was doing when it came to building a better yote type of trap he was also a very good caller.
