Title says it all. Curious what the cage trappers are using.

I have six of the Camtrip traps, I like that they nest together. Seem to work well, I have not tried catching a cat in them yet, I have caught some grey fox though. I’ll get a call about a cat at some point. I really only damage control trap and just bought these last year.

I like the camtrips. Also have several Comstocks, but saw quite a few refusals on camera. They would make it into the trigger wires and then back out. The big plus with the Comstocks is not worrying about exposed parts freezing up in the bad weather we get.

I use Schroders with good success, I'd like to try some camtrips at some point. The Schroeders will trip in windy conditions.

My son uses Pied Piper cages and catches them pretty regularly. Think it’s 14x14x36.

Mercer Lawing makes the Camtrip cages. I think that’s how you spell his name. Not sure of the rest of them.

Bruce just drive out to Elko Nv. For the NTA western. I’m pretty sure Mercer will be there with a bunch of his traps.

I don’t know if he goes to those or not, have seen him at the westerns though. He has put on several demos. Elko isn’t that far from California where I think he still lives.
