Ok gang,,, need some suggestions on we’re to go for a good , solid coon cage trap. Only thing around here are the ones with the flimsy junk door that a coon will demolish. I had a good one I loaned out that unfortunately got destroyed ( which I still have no clue how they did it) that was totally bent like a pretzel. I don’t believe my bucket trap will hold up for very long

Most cages find their end under a farm tractor or a pickup most are left in the grass that grows up and they are forgotten about until it’s to late but that’s good for replete business. LOL
I make my own cages but wire is very hard to come by today, look into 1X2X36 12.5 gauge it’s the best I’ve ever found. Klubertanz in WI has the best wire I’ve found all wire is not the same be careful a lot of worthless cage wire is out there.

I needed one last year and bought a freedom brand. Heavy duty and I LOVE the bait door.

They need to pass the jumbo coon test to be worth anything here, badgers often get credit for destroying cages but they are not capable of doing much damage like a huge coon can do.

I like those doors Yoteguys, my Schroeders has the same one and I don't know if they are the cheapest but I sure do love them
Does John or someone in the family still making them- anyone know?

Does John or someone in the family still making them- anyone know? I agree I have a bunch of them or Williams I’m not sure which. Used to get them at conventions. They are my favorite and about bullet proof. More money than the dukes but built much heavier. The dukes work well but we’ll see how long they last. I have some Williams that are pretty old with many catches that are in perfect condition.

I have one Duke and that was given to me. First coon I caught with it popped the welds on two of the bars on the door. Rewelded it and back in business. You do need to stake this style down or they will roll'm and get out.

thanks Rob,, I’ll most certainly check them out!! If you say they are solid,,, they are solid. One thing is for sure,,, not loaning them out again.
