To me anyway. I do like to weld and seeing as wolfdog is always tinkering that inspired me so I went to work and made 5 cage trap frames. Put some wire on 1 and finished it. The wire was from a couple scrap pieces. A little short but I made it work. Don't really need any more but I just gotta keep busy so I weld and fabricate. Maybe I'll sell it.... then again not !

Nice work. After 30 years of trapping I finally started appreciating a good cage trap last year.

Cages used around the farm places can pick up a lot of extra fur for a guy.

Nice work sir.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Hey wolfie......... don't know about calling it a cam design. Just a pretty simple L shaped linkage. When one part of the L goes down it makes the other part move forward pulling the rod out from under the endgate. A lock keeps critters from raising the gate to escape. I've built cages with the rod linkage and L shaped linkage outside the cage. I've made several different designs of endgates or doors over the years. Just whatever pops into my head.
