For those who already own the Comstock Swim Through Beaver Traps, here are some great pics sent by Tim Kenney of Toads Guide Service from Montrose, Colorado, showing he versatility of these rugged, wire trigger cage traps for Bobcat and Fox trapping. Not only will they take beaver, otter, muskrats, nutria in the water in numbers, they also are a fine Bobcat Trap when set sideways on land, thus the Sidewinder name when set upright with an 18 inch height. Since the doors are on the side when set in this fashion, the trap is a full 18 inches high, losing no space to top door clearance. Trappers in Colorado, Kentucky and Florida, to name a few, have used these traps to to target Bobcats and were not disappointed.
It was only after making these traps for beaver, while taking note of the fact that they could be used in any position, that we got a pleasant surprise in the realization of what we had, a tall Bobcat / Fox Trap.
What this means is that we now have no less than 3 options to take 'cats in Comstock Cage Traps, the Sidewinder Beaver Trap, the Bifold Door Bobcat Trap and the Angled Ring Lock Bobcat Trap. Further, though the most recent traps were designed for Bobcats and Fox, like the Swim Through Beaver Traps with a secondary use in Bobcat trapping, we believe the new Bobcat Traps will work just fine on land and even in or perhaps under water for Beaver too! Someone just has to give them a try.
