I never would have thought it would be so hard to find a dealer that sells the Hancock beaver traps.

Hoping somebody can/will point me in the right direction?

TYIA!

I've done several now. Found Hancock's website and checked out several of the dealers listed there. Looked at all of their dealer's websites and not finding the traps for sale there. Tried searching ebay and craigslist and keep coming up with blanks. Maybe it's just the techtard in me???

I thought Blair sold the business several years ago but don’t quote me on that.

Have you looked at the Comstock beaver cage? They can be set in both dispatch and non dispatch situations. I've got two of them and can't count the beaver I've caught in them.

They may be the route I end up taking. Kinda hoping this creek freezes over hard enough to set a couple of snare poles at this point. Thanks!
