Hey guys, I have a few traps that are strictly front door traps. I don't have long arms and wanted to put a bait entry door in the back end to make it easier to bait the trap. Any suggestions of how to install one. Picts would also be great if possible.

My boy got one from Eric Moreland on here that has just what yo are talkin bout. Works sweet, like a trap door on the back that is welded in vey stable. Just loaded it today with a tame white rabbit hind quarter. Maybe moreland will get ya a pic, if not I will see bout gettin ya one in a day or so.

Just cut out the wire to the size of hole you want, take a larger sized piece of 1X1 wire, use hog rings or those "J"clip for the top of the new door so it can swing open, wire each side of the bottom of the door shut. On my traps I fastened a piece of 18 gage 1X1 wire 4 inches ahead of the back (full size of the trap)making a seperate chamber so the trapped animal had to reach through the 1X1 wire to reach the bait, but could not get to the back door.
