It seems places are running out of PIT pan products. Im assuming Ed is no longer making them? Will anybody take that product line over? Be a shame to see them go.

I was looking for the crimp on center locators for some #3 longsprings this summer at conventions. Found out they were a PIT product, and no longer being made.

Shame to see a line like that go out of business.

Sounds like Ed is dealing with onset dementia and forgets about orders. People have approached him on buying the business but he forgets about it. Since he's not of sound mind and have been told has no family not sure what the outcome will be but doubt we will see much for production in the near future.


I got back into trapping with the idea of not making any money and so far have been quite successful.

That sucks to hear. Dementia is terrible.

Sorry to hear this, I enjoyed visiting with Ed on the phone and I looked forward to seeing what extra items he included with my orders for me try.

Hate to hear that about Mr. Medvetz. He always took the time to talk to you or send you attachments showing his jump trap modifications.

Ed is good people...the last time I spoke with him "he was busier than a one armed paper hanger" lol
A good trapper and very good fabricator ....getting old is tough on a guy.
