National Trappers Convention / New York Convention

Judy and I just returned from the National Trappers Convention near Buffalo in Hamburg, N.Y.  Even with a light turnout for the show, primarily due to low fur prices, by the evening of the first day we had sold out just about everything, including a dozen beaver traps, the large 12x18x39.  We only returned with a few prototype traps so that we could duplicate them.
 
There was very good interest in the bifold door bobcat trap that folds up against the roof of the trap with no external components.  We have made the bifold in both single and double door models in various sizes, even nesting sets of 3.  The bifold door stays neatly out of the way and does not stick up above the trap like a guillotine door or  hang out in front like a drop door.  With power, like all of the traps we make, it fires, closes and locks at both middle and bottom.

We have also made a Type 2 bobcat trap with angled powered ring doors, using a similar design to produce single and double door traps in 8x8, 10x10, 10x11, and 12x12.

Hope to see everyone in Herkimer at the New York State Convention.
