My name is Braxton Maxwell, and I am the owner of Western Cats Inc. I love the sport of trapping. I live and trap in Central/Southern Utah. Since I got into trapping I have always had a serious interest in lure and bait making. Theres something about homemade that got my motor cranking and wanting to try anything you could think of.

As one of the recent  seasons was wrapping up, I went to the Utah fur sale to sell my pelts for the year and that’s when I ran into Robert Helms. I started quizzing him about trapping and Western Cats Inc. Following that conversation and a few more conversations my dream has been fulfilled. I gained a life long friend/mentor and a 30+ year proven product that I get to continue sharing with all of you.

My mentor, Robert Helms, was a long-line trapper trained by Ray Milligan back in the 1980s. He began creating his lures during that time, and has continued doing so since then.

These lures have caught hundreds of coyotes for him personally, with KANEKILLER LRC alone yielding 279 coyotes in just 15 days. He has also caught an abundance of bobcats and grey fox. He knows how to create top-quality lures and baits that work under harsh conditions and keep working over time.

I may be just getting started, but I strive to continue pushing these 30+ year proven products to the be the best in the business. I also will continue testing and trialing new recipes to keep up with changing times to ensure my customers always have the best bait and lures at their fingertips.

I hope to continue to get more young trappers involved into trapping and provide them with enough knowledge to carry on the legacy of the sport of trapping.

In final, here at Western Cats we appreciate all our customers and hope to continue providing them with top notch lure and bait.
