Just starting with cage trapping in CO. Want to know favorite brand or type? I will be mainly trying to trap coyote and fox.
 
Im always up for the hard way... Im hopping that with all the feed lots we have out here will help my odds there is tons of dogs around them so Im hoping to find the dumb ones....
 
I build my own but I am looking to buy a set next season. Looks like Bob Small and Mercer Lawing both make a good product.
 
I would also like some pics or plans since Washington is a cage trap only state. Rat traps are thE only "body grip" trap allowed
 
You know the weird part about the WA law on Live Traps only is that all of the leg holds or conibear type traps are illegal thanks to the tree huggers. So live traps are the only option. Think about it. So if you live trap with the existing regulations you have to kill the target animal since it's illegal to transport a live game/fur-bearer. OK now you have a live animal in the trap you have to dispatch it before you can transport it. Dumb in my opinion.
 
Both Cam trip and Schroeder are great cages , Dan Gates has had some success with trapping coyotes but it is mostly in an urban setting. I have had success with catching red and grey fox with cages , The grey fox being the easiest to catch. Tracy Truman has a grey fox trapping video that is very good.
 
Thanks for the advice, Im sure that it will be hard to get the yotes but the fox's around here a plentiful so Im hopping to get enough of them that it will pay for my efforts. Like all the others, I would like to see some pics of your homade cages.
