HAVAHART 1079SR Large 1-Door Humane Catch and Release Live Animal Trap Cage – Live Raccoon Trap, for Bobcats, Beavers, Dogs, & More

Effective and Versatile Large Animal Trap
I recently purchased the Havahart 1079SR Large 1-Door Humane Catch and Release Live Animal Trap and I couldn’t be happier with its performance. This trap is perfect for catching a variety of animals like raccoons, cats, bobcats, beavers, and more. The one-door design is simple to use and the humane catch-and-release feature is something I truly appreciate. The trap is sturdy and durable, ensuring that once an animal is caught, it remains secure until I release it back into the wild. I love that it’s suitable for a wide range of animals, making it a versatile solution for any wildlife issues. I highly recommend this trap to anyone dealing with unwanted critters on their property.

Revised Review…Trap Out Smarted by a Raccoon
This is a lightweight trap which has worked pretty well. The first animal I caught was a HUGE raccoon and he/she literally tore a wire out of the floor. The trap didn’t work the few initial times because the raccoon was so large (30 lbs. or so) he could reach in to eat, and his body was partially still outside the trap door.Another reviewer suggested putting a bar inside the cage to get the animal to literally stoop lower and place more pressure on the trip plate. This worked very well!No one mentions it, but cat food works really well!I mentioned this is a lightweight trap. Putting the cage and animal in the back of my truck, the handle severely warped from the weight. It was too much weight for the type of wire used on the handle.The animal was trying to get out of the cage and ripped a wire out of the floor. There was a little blood either from its claw doing this or poked himself with this random wire that is now in the cage as it is trying to get out. The animal was strong enough to bend the trap door, but did not succeed in getting out! So far, everything was fixable.I have since purchased a professional grade trap which will hold up much better, but this is still a good animal trap and I will continue using this one too. And last but not least, I read the name brand on this trap and agree with the concept; Hav-A-Heart! I’m not a hunter and these are just wild animals trying to find food and survive.REVISED FROM… [I have to admit, this is a nice-looking trap (Cage). Used it last night only to find it empty this morning, the food eaten way in the back, the trap door sprung, but no Raccoon inside. Somehow, the animal was able to unlock the door… after his meal and escape?Was my rating of 3 stars too high?]

Nice, Well-Constructed Live Trap
We are having a particularly intense infestation of ‘rockchucks’ this summer. A rockchuck is a yellow-bellied red marmot, a close relative of that Phil character that is used to, um, predict the remaining winter in early February. While active, they decimate flowers and vegetables, so aren’t desirable. We live very close to the edge of a National Forest, and while we recognize that we live in their territory, I’m more than happy to relocate the marauding garden terrorists back to those forests. Enter the live traps.It took a few reads of the simple instructions to pick up all the nuances. The sheet is written for several related models, with different details for each. After those reads and some head scratching where hair used to grow, the actual setting up was fast and easy. I followed some internet advice, worth every penny I paid for it, as I selected a bait for our particular visitors. Nothing. Last evening at a neighborhood meeting, I found out that watermelon and cantaloupe rinds are favored here. We’ll see how we do, hopefully better with the right bait.The trap itself is easy to set up, and it’s a size that should fit and hold our rockchucks. Perhaps as important, the size is just right to fit into a large garden-waste trash bag. That’s essential before placing a scared animal in the back of the car for a ride back to a wilder place. Plus it will contain any excess pee and droppings that would otherwise end up in the car. It’s a ten-minute drive or so to get them beyond any normal ‘homing’ range, no need to traumatize them unnecessarily.Neighbors who use traps these speak highly of them. I will to after the right bait draws the several beasts who have been feasting on my flowers.I’ll update if the results are less than great.—-Update after a few successful weeks of use –Thanks to watermelon rinds as bait, ‘Rocky’ and ‘Chuck’ have found new homesteads to enjoy, several miles from ours. Neither seemed particularly happy to be in the trap, although each did manage to consume all of the rinds during their visit time. They each thanked me for the food and the rides by chattering their teeth as I gathered them up for the vacation trip.A large lawn-sized leaf bag is just the right size to put the trap in for the rides in the car. It took a little careful lifting and sliding to get the trap into the bag each time. I’ll be honest that I tried to do it all gently, but it proved more challenge than I was ready to suffer. The traps went on-end on the folded-out bag, spilling the guest into the bottom end long enough to pull the bag over the trap. Once the bag was tucked closed, safe to put it into the car. Quiet back there with the bag clocking the view. This wasn’t a sightseeing tour, apparently; they must have misread the travel brochure. After several miles of forest service road, a pile of rocks seemed the perfect spot for a new rockchuck nation to spring up. Open the door, and the little guys hotfooted it over to the rock formation. Then almost immediately turned tail and hauled butt across the road and off into the forest. After all the love and care I’d put into choosing a new home for them…The bags got tossed and the traps were thoroughly cleaned with the hose and brush. Ready for the next varmint attack and invasion. Rockchucks apparently go somewhat dormant in later summer and fall. The traps will come back out when they decide to come help harvest our garden veggies and flowers again.More: The traps are shipped pretty much ready to use. They don’t fold for storage, so be ready for the storage space they will use up. The traps themselves are constructed from plated steel wire mesh and sheet metal parts, and easily resisted the teeth and claws of the rockchucks. Still, I’m not sure they will last if left in outside storage over long periods. I suspect the wire will rust at the weld points given sufficient time and exposure. That probably wouldn’t affect function, but appearance would suffer.Hope this helps!
