No better than that cat is caught in that trap, I would speculate there may be a bullet hole in that cat.
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

So much unpopulated space inColorado and the lion steps right there where the trap was waiting for coyotes. I didn't know that cats can be so stupid. But if the shoe fits, wear it.

That's a biggun for sure. To be honest, I hope I never catch one. Bobcats are ok, but not one of them.
Don, thanks for the pic.

I had me an unintentional catch this weekend too. Not that exciting though as it was dead in a snare. That's a really nice, big lion.

I’d take the gulo, myself. That is a damn nice looking one. I caught one in a 120 set for marten a couple of years ago. By the looks of it, he wasn’t held long 😃 like maybe three seconds, lol

Looks a little scruffy. Might clean up though. Have always heard that cats don't savor pain and rarely fight a trap. Still a bit of surprise if one was walking up with a head bopper finishing tool.

The cat fought the trap hard enuff to pull the stake. The trapper treed him later with his dogs, still wearing the trap.

Wow, caught by one toe (maybe two-hard to tell by the pic) and that catch was stronger than the stake huh? That's crazy. Bobcats and lynx sure don't fight traps much, but I guess maybe lions do? I've never caught one though I know a fair number of folks who have. They always say releasing them is a bit sporty, even with a snare pole or notched plywood sheet. Bonking them on the nose I guess can knock them out just long enough to get them out, but I know of at least one lion that died by doing that.

Not a huge one but not a pup either. Caught her in a lynx snare. I have never seen a snare so coiled up and wrecked.

That trap looks like Those MB750s my brother sets for coyote. He claims they are STOUT! Now I believe it.
