They were ridiculously cheap but they may as well have been a thousand dollars a trap at the time. Trail cameras and fresh snow have broke a lot of trapper’s hearts.

First time I ever saw one was at an Illinois convention,, there were a few guys who were standing around trying to set a BMI 220 by hand.. being young and cocky,, I walked over to show them how it’s done,,, because I used to set bodygrips by hand all the time… Welp , the joke was on me. I’m not sure why BMI went out of business,, because they were top notch traps as far as the bodygrip goes.
