Another Trap ID Question #7895151 06/28/23 08:45 PM 06/28/23 08:45 PM

I initially thought it was the “net” portion of a Gibbs Muskrat Net Trap. I inquired and he threw it in with the deal. After comparing it to every picture I can find on the web, I don’t believe this is the Gibbs net trap. Any input would be appreciated! God put me at the top of the food chain....I just put a trap on the other end!

It appears to be "manufactured" and not a hand made apparatus. Appreciate the response....maybe Hancock or some other manufacturer made something along these lines and just didn't produce them long. The guy I got it from didn't know what it was but was calling it a "bird trap". God put me at the top of the food chain....I just put a trap on the other end!
