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

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. www.theretrievers.org www.ragom.org PARTS LIST: 3 16'x5' fence panels like this: http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store...
