Ordered a dozen for my son when he started setting traps, gary sent 2 extra with ring triggers to give a try and let him know how they were. We are still using them today, cam has some set around his chickens now. Very well built, and a great guy to add on top of it. We have other dp traps just dont like them as much, so they get handed out for borrowing, and 2nd in line to use when we run a coon line.

I had plenty of requests for bobcat and lynx encapsulated traps based on the Grizz Trap design. The Grizz Trap production did not leave me have time to pursue other designs. Not saying I will not do it, it can be done. Just have to get paw measurements for tube diameter and length. Spring design, restraint bar design all have to be considered as well.

Thank you for asking.

Probably around 3500 or so. Started with small run of the original Grizz's and then a dedicated run of the Grizz Grenade DP Trap. The pull ring trigger carried over to the V2 Grizz as an option. I invented the pull ring trigger for the DP traps. Spent the money for a patent, decided not to pursue it and now it is known as prior art. Everyone can use it. I did this on purpose so it couldn't be used against me.

I was one of the ones that inquired about a bobcat sized one years ago. I believe they would work
