I was born in 1954 in the great state of Louisiana, resided in New Orleans and Houma before settling in the state of Fl. Have been an avid trapper, hunter, and fisherman my entire adult life. I am a member of The National Trappers Assoc., The Fl.Trappers Assoc., The Louisiana Alligators Hunters and Trapping Assoc. , Wildlife Control Tech., and Nuisance Wildlife Control Operators Assoc.,I was a Director for northern Fl. during the 80’s for the National Trappers Assoc. and am an active Director for the Fl. Trappers Assoc. to date. I was in wildlife control for 14 years before retiring to my small machine shop at home. I am still very active in wildlife control across the nation for consulting. I am a self taught machinest and take a lot of pride in my workmanship. I have a gunsmith on board for all involved with the making of bangsticks. I also have a master machinest/engineer on board. I will do my best to make your hunt a very successful adventure by suppling equipment second to none.
Special Thanks To Master Machinest Larry Mercer of Fayetteville N.C. for all his help and support,none of this would be possible without him.
All parts are hand made one at a time and machined by me. Everything I make is stainless steel if possible for long lasting wear and tear. Have several different types of harpoon heads and gig points .My stuff is used all across the southern states for alligator captures. Todd Hardwick from the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet use's my stuff and some gator hunt guides and nuisance gator trappers also. My equipment has been purchased by some U.S. Fish & Wildlife agents and also by University students on assignments in Africa. Its in use in Alaska by commercial halibut fishermen. Its not the cheapest stuff available and its not the most expensive, but I will put it up against anybody's as far as durability and workmanship. I can build you my type or will build to your specs. My gig points will fit most all harpoons on the market. I am retired and a one man machine shop, so order early to avoid waiting.We will and have filled emergency orders 24 hours a day. If you are on a hunt and need something in the middle of the night we will meet you at the shop or meet within a reasonable distance to keep your hunt going. Who else offers this kind of service? Thanx , Dennis ( Cooter the cajun )
