So when someone slaps-"Made in America"on something,its basically a marketing gimmick. Think about how the world works today. What about "Made in Canada" is that a marketing gimmick for Canadians? or a source of pride? Same thing. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I formulated and produced them out in my shed, but a few ingredients in the lures are imported from other countries. I think this stuff gets to be a bit ridiculous. I didn't think you advertised them as Made in the USA, maybe I'm wrong, (wife says I am frequently, lol). Curious are your bottles and caps American made? You are right as I said above.

The fact that almost nothing is made in USA anymore is one of the reasons why the middle class is dying, and why my grandfather had a much better standard of living than I do today.

I haven't bought steel, and didn't know if it was marked or not. none of the 1000' s of pounds of sheet steel or flat bar i cut punched or bent was stamped, but it was shown on the shipping paper work.

What I have a hard time with is marketers that knowingly lie in order to market. That lying will cause me to buy elsewhere. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Trap wild animals for profit. Agree with the sanctity of marriage being between one man and one woman. Support the mom and pop retailers. Those of us that do Are the remnant. And that's fine. We come well equipped. Blessings, Mark

They don't hide that they use foreign parts. They are competitively priced. Duke company is a BIG supporter of fur trapping. I have no clue how many fur bearers I have caught in duke 1 1/2 coils and duke 120 bodygrips. Honesty is big deal to me.
