Death Ray

I'm seriously considering a death ray. Can anyone explain how it works and it is used to dispatch your catch ? I'm probably going to go ahead and get one of his fleshing knives while I'm at it.

Lee Steinmeyer is a TMan forum member. PM him, and I'm sure he'd be happy to explain all the ins and outs of the death ray.

Here's his website if you want to look at his products.

he's at the trappers college now i believe so may take a day or 2 to get back to ya

Oh, not this one, my mistake.

No blood=easier skinning. One of the best investments ive purchased for my line. Lee's a great guy to deal with as well

I have one love it!

It's a catch pole that is built with a caulk gun. It tightens the loop around the neck and cuts the air and blood off to the brain, thus they go comatose instantly and dead in 2 minutes. No blood no bullets. I've used one for 4 seasons, best thing since fried chicken. His Parallel knife takes a lot of work out of fleshing too. Lee has a ton of knowledge too.

I have one of his parallel knives and love it. I want a Death Ray.
You can't go wrong with Lee. Great guy to talk with. I'll have a Death Ray before too long...

I have a 2ft one and it's just right, not to long and you can handle it well. I think the 2 ft one is the best.

I like mine money well spend, lee puts out very good products .

I love mine. Money well spent.

they are sweet. I converted mine to where I could quickly remove and replace the cable/ snare. I modified the end/barrel so I could use a 3/64" snare with a camlock. That way I can lock it down on a catch and as soon as the animal drops I can loosen the death ray take the snare off and replace with a new one and go to the next coyote and repeat. come skinning time just remove the them. this is great when you have 8 to 10 coyotes bouncing around. I think he now sells the needed parts.

You won’t regret buying anything that Lee makes. I just ordered my 4th fleshing knife and my 2nd Death Ray from him. I give one of his fleshing knives as a gift every year at Minktoberfest. I’ve used a 3’ Death Ray for the last 3 years, and decided to switch to a 2 footer this year. Every person that has ended up with a knife from me absolutely loves it.

Learn something new every day! Look like a great tool, his flushing tool look first class.

any fur danage with these?

No. Don't leave it on your catch for hrs and all will be fine. No worse than fleshing one that has been snared

None from mine, just released a bobcat with it.

thanks guys!

To me this tool and maker deserve some serious recognition....as being safe, humane and more importantly this tool fits the needs of trappers where other dispatch methods cannot be used. Trapping leaders do we not have awards for development of new ideas, tools, and methods that promote safe trapping methods?

Very good idea!!!
I like my death ray! I have a 4' & 3'.

I agree. One of the most valuable tools I’ve ever purchased. It was a game changer on my line. Lee is a true man of character.

THANKS Lee, you’ve done a lot to improve the trapping experience for many of us, in many ways!
