How to Build a Missy Trap (Original Version - No Raytripper Required)

Описание: Complete instructions for how to build the original (2014) version of the Missy Trap, large humane trap for capturing skittish dogs. This version uses a hanging bait method for closing the door and does not require a Raytripper electronic gate triggering system. NOTE: The Missy trap is now on Version 4. Because it's made with commercially available kennel panels, it can be built with simple tools in just a few hours. See this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuyiG...

The Missy Trap was designed by Greg James, volunteer with The Retrievers lost dog team and Retrieve a Golden of Minnesota.
