I was shown these on a different thread and think they could be great. 80$ is steep, but I guess not compared to any other traps we buy.

I hope somebody does. My first two attempts were not successful, and I'm reasonably sure that raccoons were the problem. I guess it's a great thing that we have raccoons coming out of our ears, but not so great when you're trying to catch rabbits or coyotes or feral cats or almost any other species.

If you think that canines are the only animals that will pull at your bait, you haven't met our raccoons. By the way, I'm writing this on the evening of the Fourth of July and I'm beginning to wonder why I don't just take an automatic rifle and see how many coyotes and rabbits I can find. I'll guarantee you that nobody will notice the noise.

The difference between an average community and a wealthy community like ours is the quality of the personal fireworks.

I bought one, cost me £120 thats nearly $200, Badger went with snare off it first night, they are certainly not canine specific.
I have a buddy thats caught a few foxes with them though. we dont have problems with raccoons, wish we did!!

Well did it cathc the badger? I thin they mean "catch specific". No one can prevent an animal from messing with a trap, just getting caught in one. How have they been for foxes?

I own three of them, and they are a godsend. They catch me a lot of coyotes, fox, and stray dogs, especially in urban areas. The trick is to make sure that only k9 lures and baits on the trigger,

They were legalized in this country because they were supposed be canine specific, up to now i have not caught any foxes in them.
Badgers here will take any bait thats available from corn to rabbit, probably one of the easiest animals to catch, but totally protected, they are a flaming nuisance.
like i said my buddy has caught a few foxes in them, so i will stick at it till i catsh one.

I have used them for coyote. If the situation calls for them they do work but expect some frustration if raccoons are around. Tim told me to set it completely exposed without covering any part of the set and it worked fine like that. I have had success on flat ground but feel more confident if it is slightly higher than the target. I use the Collarum bait but have heard that others work just as well.

I guess my experience with collarum is as limited as it can be, but it was positive. Used one collarum for two nights, no non targets, no misses, got the coyote in a development. Worked like a champ.

I use them all the time, actually going to do a setup tomorrow morning. If you're having problems with non-targets set some cages before the collarum.

Our association is going in a bad direction as well. Shame when you have to watch your back from them more than the anti's.


Just because something is legal doesn't make it smart.

i bought two for a nuisance fox. here in nj we cant use footholds. how do you like to set/anchor them? i am planning on using an earth anchor for the cable but wondering how you guys anchor and bed the thrower. also, what baits have you found to work well? would a chicken wing work or should i use a scent?

thanks in advance
