maybe callorums might be a less expesive alternative A collarum setup is about the same cost as a cage trap. You would most likely be targeting different critters with the collarum than you would with a cage trap anyways.

anybody use them? they look pretty good, better than the ones you get at tractor supply or havahart, I really like the advanced traps but they are alittle out of my price range for now but hopefully not for long, I know that quality on hurts once. I need traps big enough for coons and medium sized domestic dogs I have a few that I started out with, One coon broke a weld on the ring bar and Got out... I would stick with the http://www.advancedtrap.com/ like you said Quality only hurts once.

I'VE GOT SEVERAL OF THE DUKE TRAPS AND HAVE CAUGHT ALOT OF COONS IN THEM. I'VE ONLY HAD ONE TEAR THE WIRE COVER OFF THE PAN. IF MONEY IS AN ISSUE I WOULD GO WITH WILLIAMS.I DON'T LIKE USING THE COMSTOCKS ON COONS BECAUSE OF THE TIME TO RETIGHTEN AND STRAIGHTEN THE WIRE ON THE TRIGGERS AFTER EVERY CATCH.

It has happened, that I know of, to one of my customers.
Duke has as a slogan "best trap value". I would say in most cases that is true of their designs. I own over a hundred duke 330's. The welds have broke on them more often than any of my other purchased 330's, but due to the ability to buy local and price I continue to use more of them. If others were considerably more effective I would change or at least try the other.
We have a slogan in my business, "setting the highest standard in cage trap design". I would say, in most cases, that would be true of our traps.So maybe, how you are using your traps may be best for your situation. When the trap limits the set, then maybe we need to use a different style or brand.
There are very good trap MFG companys out there. I believe there is no monopoly. Sometimes there are unforseen and unpreventable defects.
Just my 2 cents.

Here's a couple pics of one My cousin and I made for myself this summer. I think it will hold about anything I can get in it. I put some wheelbarrow wheels on it to help move it around where I need it, and just pull the pin and take them off. http://www.trapperman.com/forum/ubbthrea...NDE#Post3290381
