I was looking through trap suppliers online the other night at cage traps for beaver. I came across a knockoff of the Hancock trap that wasn’t a Korro trap. It was quite a bit less expensive and I wanted to look into it now I can’t find it. Where I am at I can’t run leg holds or other steel so I am looking at other options anyone else have any suggestions.

I would check out the beaver cage traps in the above link.

Theres also the Bailey trap which is another of the suitcase style traps along with the koro and handcock.

Thank you the Bailey trap is the one I was curious about

While you’re at it, look at the Ztrap beaver cage traps. Well built and a whole lot cheaper than Hancock or some of the others.

I have used the Comstock beaver trap with some success in runs and slides where situations and customers wouldn’t allow the use of body grips or footholds.
They definitely work in certain situations but not on a dam break. The beaver will just pack it full and make it part of the dam.
