Donnie Donnie trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 2653 Loc: Rimrock ,Arizona	this is a yancy cage and hard to beat,i like the drop down doors because the other style are sometimes set off when a big tom hits his back on the door,but ya gotta use what ever suits you..this is just my opinion and nothing else _________________________ Trap Collectors 1500.00 CATS North to IDAHO!!!go North the rush is on

Livetrap Livetrap trapper Registered: 06/27/07 Posts: 739 Loc: California	So I've been doing A LOT of thinking about that double door cat trap on the 2nd page. I'm thinking about making a few of these and perminately setting them up in the high country. Before and after season I'd have to secure the doors open. I'm thinking I can pack it in in pieces and assemble it on site. Some questions: What kind of paint? Rustoleum? This has got to stand up to the elements year-round. Also, what would the best thing to use to tie all sides together? 14 or 12 gauge wire? Your thoughts?

scooter scooter trapper Registered: 10/05/07 Posts: 12 Loc: colorado	live trap,I use to dissasemble these traps between sets but got in the habit of just laying one across my shoulders and going.they are handy when you have a bunch to move to lay each panel down then both doors on top an fasten together. when putting these together I just doulbe a piece of bailing wire.wire door top center and bottom,sides also in three spots.never lost a cat once the doors shut. I do leave a few of our traps in the woods yearound.I move them away from the actual set and use heavy gage wire to wire to rock or tree just to make it alot of work for someone to get away with.I have never painted one,just never felt a reason to
