Do any of you trappers on here know of a good place to get the best deal on new steel traps or someone that might have some used traps in good condition for sale? Any help would be greatly appreciated.:thumb:

What kind of traps are you looking for?

 

[duckhunter2-2007]

Preferably coil spring #1, #1.5, #2's but I would consider long springs in good condintion. Also any body grippers.

 

[damlockman]

I will check and see what I have left. I should have a few.

The Southwest Fur Takers will be having a convention at Lake DeGray pavillion #2 on the 27th of Sept. starts @10am. There should be a vendor or two there.

You can also give Tim Rainey a call he lives close to Petit Jean Mtn. at 473-970-0179 cell or home 501-233-6377

Very cool :thumb:Thanks for your help.

No Problem!

Where are you from??

 

[duckhunter2-2007]

I live in Berryville. I grew up near Searcy and always trapped when I was young down there. I got a new peace of property up here and decided I would get back into it. I have 3/4 of a mile of creek frontage with access to about 1 1/2 miles in either direction. Lots of coon, mink, fox, coyote, bobcat, and a few beaver, I think it should be good. :thumb:

There is a guy named Dub Shankle that lives in Ozark that sells supplies as well. I don't have his number but I can get it if you need it. Him and Tim both sell supplies and have new and used traps.

Sounds like you have a good place to trap. Make sure you catch LOTS of coyotes and bobcats.

You might check Trapper: on here. I have several, but I'm holdin' mine. Good luck.

I don't have much in the way of used (or new) traps to sell right now. If I were you I'd go with the Dukes. Yes they are made in Korea but they are good traps for the money. Well most of them are. I don't like thier long springs or there smaller bodygrippers. You can call them and order over the phone. Best part is you get free shipping when you buy $100.00 or more.

I didin't see prices on thier website but I'm looking at an ad from the OCT 2008 Fur Fish Game and #1.5 coils are 59.95 a doz, #1.75 are 75.95, #2 coil79.95, #3 $99.95. Those are for regular jaw, two coil. Offset jaw and 4 coil models are a bit higher.

I don't know how many feeders you've got but get ready to skin a bunch of coon. Make sure to set at least 3 at each feeder & you will probably have 3 coons the next morning. Those are the best traps ever made.

I am gonna keep fattening them up for november. I hear the coons will bring good money this year. Isn't there a trapper workshop scheduled soon?

Yeah I saw that on the AGFC website but I think the deadline has passed to sign up for it. You won't need any help with the grizz's, they are SO easy to use.
