Got home & noticed it looks different than the R.B.G brand. Then I noticed it's a Bridger dog (says Bridger right on the dog). I guess I thought only 1 company makes the round BG's. Maybe this vendor had a box of them in the back shed from years ago. It was new in the bag though. Last edited by AJE; 07/01/18 02:11 PM.

If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

The Bridger dog was being used on the bigger size trap, I have switched to all of the dogs to ones that I have laser cut and stamped with the RBG. If you got one that is different that is because I am finishing off all of the old stock I had. I enjoyed meeting everyone at the FTA and look forward to doing business in the future.
