OldTrapCollector 377 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 One came up for sale a bit ago and no-one wanted to buy it, seriously (the one M ended up with). It is such a monstrosity and too big to do anything with. I wouldn't give it room, it is that bad - one I can do without. OTC Quote Link to post

OldTrapCollector 377 Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I saw them at the Game Fair about 30 years ago (Queensbury - that is) and the chap was so energetic about them, he was an engineer though, not a trapper ... OTC Quote Link to post

earth-thrower 494 Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 No one has yet picked up on the price....!!! £17.50 each or discounted to £15 for multiple orders. Not that price should be a factor if the product works and lasts. Without getting drawn into an organisation endorsement debate. Because we all know that money talks. My doubts are; no means to adjust and "tweek" the trap to ensure a more humane catch. Plastic box. How long will the trap last with water ingress and trapping moisture. Especially when subjected to a ground frost. Soil and debris entering the closed mechanism. How long before it jams or the operation of the trap becomes unworkable. And the cost. I could pick faults all day. They won't be going in my bag and I can't ever see them becoming a pro tool. As Pete says. Buy a couple and stick them away. Perhaps one day they may become a curio collectors item. Youve certainly highlighted the potential pitfalls with it there,mate LOL . I love this line, at the end of the article, " To date David has concentrated on the more lucrative retail market,but would be happy to hear from professionals ". Two responses to this, i dont think you would ,really, and pi.. o.. ! 1 Quote Link to post
