Above is another example of a very typical not so heavy duty cage trap, the type of trap that has been around for years with few significant changes or improvements. The lock bar is light duty, allowing the equally light duty door to twist and the coon to escape. In the morning the coon was gone. Coon are very strong, smart and incredibly persistent. Traps with this type of door configurations are problematic and were the reason we built our Comstock Cages with 1/4 inch diameter rods in all components, frames, doors and lock bars. With triangulation combined with stout material, the Comstock traps are essentially "escape proof."
Remember, though you may hold some of the small or weak, if you are going to lose one, it will be the big one!
