Trap Shack Company

Welcome Guest! Would you like to log yourself in?

Greetings Fellow Trappers,

Welcome to the Trap Shack! Thanks for taking the time to browse through our website. I have been trapping part-time for 36 years in the bluff country of Western Wisconsin. We are blessed with an abundance of Coon, Muskrat, Mink, Beaver, Coyotes and Fox. Trapping provides a connection to the natural rhythms and being part of the circle of life.

My family and I operate a naturally-run farm which encompasses beef, sheep, chickens, crops and an assortment of critters as pets. Our farm also has flower gardens and an orchard of 60 apple, cherry and pear trees. I am a licensed veterinarian in large animal practice.

Our goal is to provide fellow trappers with information and supplies. Out of respect for the animals we trap we offer high quality, reliable products that we believe in. We enjoy helping out new and experienced trappers alike.

We are here to help. Feel free to e-mail or call us if you have questions about our products or how to use them.

Have a great season!
