Like the one that the seller had on e-bay, and knew more than anyone else and claimed it was. His spiel worked though as some poor fool definitely opened his wallet and gave $115.39 for a $20 trap. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEWHOUSE-TRAP-RA...=p2047675.l2557 Like I said many times, if you are an inexperienced new collector ask someone that knows before you make the mistake of buying something and making a big mistake.

He claimed some guys on a trapping forum said it was legit, I asked him to send me the link, he said he would. Still waiting....LOL I love Mustelids...

Anyway,he had something I was interested in and he went on and on about the NH #8 and guys being wrong about NH not making a #8 Most of them,you can see,like this one upside down,that it is a #3 I don't quite get where they come up with that or why. Guys like NHcattrapper have forgotten more about traps then most guys will ever know if they would only listen,it could benefit them.Info is greatly appreciated!
