Trigger mechanism may differ a bit but not sure about that. A standard Wickenkamp 302 is a heavy built, sturdy trap.......and you can actually buy them. Or if a guy wants a trap that looks and works like a Havahart, but built like it needs to be to hold any coon going, you can buy a Tomahawk for about same money. Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.

I could only find an iffy photo of one on fleabay or some such place. Am curious how they differ is all. If I understand correctly, nephew or some other Williams relatives were going to be making them, but if they are never in stock, that may have fallen thru.
