I know 3 Bears sells them down here in Wasilla, I think 12 a pop.
There are a bunch of them along the highway up here, someone must be road trapping.

Can not help you (geography if nothing else) but what is a newspaper box?
Tubes. I have a dozen, or so, but shipping would be prohibitive.
Funny: I probably have 100 flower pots scattered around the woods, and dozens of tubes. I only use plywood boxes now, built for Belisle 120's.
I know the boxes are cumbersome, and I lose a few to bears every year, but I sure prefer them.

I too prefer plywood boxes I don't like putting plastic in the woods. I sell plywood boxes in my catalog to fit 120's or 155's. They are tapered so they stack good for transport.

Have seen them when up south'ard and never though about any name they had.
Yes can see how a 120 Mag. can fit in them for marten.

Yeah Frozen Okie gave me about half a dozen that I have in the woods. Doing flower pots this year, the porkies destroy my wood ones every year.
