Customer Reviews for Tomahawk Rigid Live Trap X Large Model 609 (Raccoon & Woodchuck sized animals)

Big, sturdy trap. We've been trying to trap a large feral male Balinese to get him neutered but he would never go into the smaller traps. This trap was put out and he walked right into it! He even seemed calm, although he is quite feral. The only negative is that we filed down the rough ends of the metal. Where they are cut off some were quite sharp.

Price was great, fast shipping but after just one night in the rain, rust spots showed up all over it. Not rustproof very well. Brand new, after one night out side, looks like I owned it for 10 yrs.

Once the local raccoons discovered our cat door, I had to take action. Trapped one of my problem coons the same night I received the trap. Trapped the Moby Dick of raccoons a few days later, then a fox! Trial cam hasn't picked up any more activity in my back yard. Now I can leave my cat door open again at night. I did all of this before the animal control people even called me back about borrowing one of their traps. Problem solved!

This is my second Mod. #609 trap purchased from DoMyOwn. First one was over a year ago and I've put it through the test with effectiveness, ease of use, and weather resistance. Gets an A++ on all of it. Big raccoons are no problem. Biggest problem is every cat in the neighborhood has to test it out at least once. - - And no visible rust anywhere yet. (Inland Pacific Northwest climate)

Excellent trap. Caught a big, chicken eating, raccoon with it. . . . AFTER several neighborhood cats. Holds up well to the weather here where we live in the Inland Northwest. .. DoMyOwn was about the best price I could find for this trap and delivery was fast. Thanks

Rocky is bigger then my dog! He is beautiful! I hate to see him struggling to get food in the urban area that is Hallandale Beach. So I set the trap and Got them both one night after the other. Yes cat food di it! I released them in a park were mangroves and a fresh water flows. There are other Racoons in the park and Rocky and Girl friend Im sure are doing better.

I've tried all the local farm store traps only to have the critter escape. This is a great trap.

My other trap (purchased from a local hardware store) lasted for a week. The racoons threw themselves at the door and where able to (squeeze) out. I just setup this trap last night and there is no way the racoon could get out. They trap door assembly will not allow it. There was some damage during shipping, but I was able to fix it. Looking forward to purchasing another trap.
