I use the tomahawk 9 inch regularly for skunks, opossums, feral cats, and raccoon on the ground like crawls spaces under outbuildings,or higher if the building is a secure one without the danger of tearing in somewhere else. I know some people use them for grey squirrels but I hesitate because he has a key to the house if he wants back in. If it is a raccoon I mostly use WCS's coon excluder as nothing can defeat it if mounted securely. I sometimes use two of tomahawks j hooked together so if they beat one trying to get back in or change their mind right after going through the one way they always go out the second door then they are up a creek. When I think the coast is clear before closing the entry I put something behind the one way door like tracking powder, a ball of newspaper or cloth or a delicious food item or water if nothing disturbs it I close the entry. It's usually a three trip deal where I give them a flat price and where people think they have many animals and they may they seem to be happy to know what the whole job is going to cost up front. Getting the animals out is usually 300 and the exclusion 50 to three hundred. If I am going to exclude the deck I'll do that first except where I put the door. Throw back is right. It can't be during the birthing or small babies season. You can take the whole family out if they are juveniles. If you have trapped the mother you could post her outside to encourage the young to come out through an excluder or an excluder hooked to a cage. If the situation allows it. Lundy if I were going to build one I would make it long enough for two doors with enough room for the target animal to fit between them. I have seen sparrows and squirrels beat the first door to get back in but while they are working on the second door they end up going back through the door they beat because it is easier then they have to start all over again. you can call me or pm me if you want to talk to me about it. I think that's all I got. The other Paul and myself are going to appear so much smarter with this spell check.

mousie lundy who posted earlier bought Scott's stuff and is making those traps now. Lundy, Greg Smith, amateur trap makers look at Brian's great idea of a nose bump. Brian once again you are a (naughty word) genius and pretty handy also. I think a second door would be a good addition or it could be in the nose cone.

Paul,
I had Greg already make a trap similar to Brian's that is 5 x 5 x 36 with 2 spring loaded one way doors about 2 years ago. We're just waiting to hear if this is something operators would like. The design is based off of a trap I made back in 2001 and used frequently with skunk calls with kits. I just never liked how I made the doors (wish I would have thought of the nose bump).
I'll try and post a pic once I get it out of a snow bank.

Eric you're pretty smart too. Paul a nose bump is something you get when you walk into a bar and impersonate Paul Winkelmann. Paul if you look at Brian's picture with your bifocals on and your face close to your 42 inch screen you see it on the floor of his trap right before the door touches the floor.

Sorry Brian I just realised I changed jump wall to nose bump. Paul jump wall is something you do when you get out of the bar after receiving a nose bump acting like Mr. Winkelmann!

35"x6"x6". Long enough to catch a bunch and short enough to fit in my CO2 chamber. I also made a nose cone with flanges that stays attached to structure, just slide the right side in. It's a gravity door, so I added a jump wall. They can't get their noses under it. How much to make me one?

scott baltz of minnesota makes some great ones but may have sold his company to another member on here. anyone know? You are correct Mousie, I started AES Traps and Tools after LT was here in Minnesota with me in 2010... LT gave me rights to use "His" trigger that He developed years ago. I started with a 4x4x18" trap and developed 9 different Trap Models and Several other configurations within those models. Also Developed the AES HD Trap separator tool with a Heavy Handle and double bar tine support. These Products Sold Very well and Many ADC Men/women from this site and dozens others Use and Own AES products Now. Because of Undiagnosed health problems at the time I sold AES Traps and Tools to Lundy and He changed the Name to http://www.aestraps.com/ ... Dave, His Son and Wife are continuing on with Quality Traps etc... and Have Developed many of their Own Ideas and features into this Trap and Tool line. Incidentally I used the "nose bump" or Jump bar on a double door trap for Squirrels...it actually was in the trap to make the Animal slow down slightly , pause and change the pattern of its step to make the animal do what I wanted. That "restrictor" I believe in that particular trap was on the floor and also the side...it narrowed the area around the pan just for a moment... Mostly for the speedy Grey's...
