Brother sent me a screen shot of TV show Innerlocs Outdoors on Pursuit channel. DP had lid that hinged in eye of dog and he though might be plastic. I thought that was genius way of having lid option that would not be lost after catch. Dont know if it is a aftermarket item or something one of manufactures is putting on market. Picture looked like a Duke but there website shows nothing. Will try upload pic but does not show much.

Not great pic.

If it's made of plastic the first coon in that trap will have it chewed up and spit out

that's what I was thinking. If that was a prototype they will figure out after first catch.
