STARTING A NEW TRAPPING EVENT

Posted on May 16, 2022May 16, 2022 By tnrprogram No Comments on STARTING A NEW TRAPPING EVENT

Trap Smart Cats

Posted on April 20, 2022 By tnrprogram No Comments on Trap Smart Cats

HAVAHART – STANDARD TRAP

Posted on March 3, 2022 By tnrprogram No Comments on HAVAHART – STANDARD TRAP

I have used 2 different HavAHart traps. With the 1089, I have never lost a cat using. The 1092 is easy to setup and to release the cat, but it has one problem and that is that the gate can be pushed open by a large cat. I have learned to use carabiners to hold…
