Gee Ben...I sure hope that lion was OK.... They usually are better than OK rolled in flour, S&P and fried like a pork chop......

Is that a long spring? How did it hold up?
Did ya get to take it home with you, or do you have to release them?

Nothing in the snares this morning, but it looks like there was something moving. I couldn't get them to howl back but it wasn't for lack of effort.

[s][/s]My buddy down in NV's 14yo son had this one waiting for him on his first trap check his first year running his own line before school. Hell of a way to start a trapping career.

Charlie, that's an awesome picture.. Nevada would be fantastic to trap. Davet, it was an exposed #4 double long spring.. He or another that was with him sprung a Northwoods #3 and a Bridger #2 before getting caught in the dls... Downstream was wishing he had a longer snare pole... image by mtcurmanElk, cool track... Glad we don't have to deal with those buggers over here. Also, off topic, but I remember meeting you at 4Bee's in 2002, back when Downstream was Twodot... Will, it was real fun taking that trap off, after watching how fast it could swipe with it's other paw.. Next time, the game warden will get to do the dirty work..laffin'! Travis, thanks.

Cats are easy to kill when trying to hold em with a catch pole. My buddy uses a piece of plywood with a notch cut out that fits over the foot. The Cat's on one side of the plywood, you and the trapped foot are on the other side. I released a small Bobcat once with a catch pole and dam near killed it getting it done so I made me a piece of plywood with a notch and a couple of handles on "my" side. Haven't used it yet and hope I never have to. Messing with a live Bobcat no matter how small isn't for the faint of heart. Can't imagine what a growed Lion's like.

Can't imagine what a growed Lion's like. last winter I helped a buddy release a fisher that got caught in one of his coyote sets using the notched plywood method. t worked quite well, and the fisher ran off through the woods upon being freed. not sure I would want to try it on one of those big cats... as mentioned I like all my parts as they are

image by mtcurmanTell me someone got that on video? I'd almost pay to see that one. I'm guessing there would be a whole lot of (beeps) mixed in though. LOL
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Charlie, I think the plywood would work very well. I'm going to dispatch all of my bobcats with a 'pole, if possible this year... It's very nice to not have any blood to deal with.
Bassi, nope, should've though. And there wasn't too much bleeping going on, honest..

Well guys, what do you think? Time for the 2015 dead varmint thread? Here's the last coyote of the year for me. Water head, but oh well. Put a dirt hole set in the catch circle. Coyote tracks everywhere, hopefully I'll have another in a day or two. image by mtcurmanimage by mtcurman

Couple wraps around a stick (or you can carry a piece of wire if you're in the desert where there's no stix, slip it over his head, and give em a tug. Or even better, if there's limb handy, hang em. They go out fast,,,30 seconds tops. I still carry my gun for Coyotes but the way I make my sets I hardly ever catch one.
