Here's a question for you guys that cage trap beaver. On every body of water in my area, the snapping turtles have just one motto: "Save a Beaver, Get Caught First."
Do you guys get a lot of turtles in cages too? Yes and my catch of other turtle species has gone up as well.

Hey Dave, I agree with you on the Miller traps. I use them on groundhogs, dillos and coons and have never had any escape. The only thing I did to them was added more clips on the back side where other brands of traps have failed. The pan is thick as well and none have ever bent. Good trap for the price. I added clips also, one thing to add the current Miller's look like junk I won't buy anymore. The ones I have are early 2000s vintage and I had a salesman at the farm and ranch cut me a deal on them because I was buying 6-8 at a time when I first started my business.

I have nothing but good things to say about Kirk's traps. I've seen many brands, and used a number of them, and Kirk's are the highest quality I've seen.

Hey Barehunter how have you been lately? Good to see you on here. I have done what you did with the traps and hardware cloth but I was stuck using single door traps. I had a good chance to look them over and called Jim to place an order but have not had a return call as of yet. Jim you seeing this? Doing OK Rick considering that I am battling brain cancer! Still working several critter jobs a day and deer hunting so life is good for now. Thanks for asking! And I hate to say I told you so about Comstock traps!

I had heard you had been going through some rough times, glad you could join us on T-man. Yes you did tell me so but from the very beginning I have always said that he probably had fine traps, my beef was more with him then anything but after meeting him I have to admit I like the guy, I may not like he went about things but part of that is his passion for what he does same for Kirk two very passionate people trying to out do the other and in the long run we all win. Right you are sir!
