Kirk Dekalb has been a trapper for over 24 years during which time he has caught over 16,000 beavers, 2500 otters, and thousands of other animals.  He has also spent his time designing and building custom cage traps.  His patented cage trap and trigger design has been proven out by years of trapping and thousands of animals caught.  He has produced several DVDs about trapping beavers, has multiple videos on YouTube and has published a book entitled The Real Reasons Animals Are Detecting Your Sets and Devices.

​

Townsend Traps builds the best cage trap science can design.  Utilizing over 40 years of metal fabrication experience and guided by Kirk's extensive trapping experience, our trap design reduces the measurable magnetic field intensity within the traps. This reduces the animal's ability to detect the trap and increases catch percentages.
