I agree 100%. I trap them with steel leg hold traps. It's a lot easier to trap them than call them in my experience. You will have a few non target catches (coons, skunks, bobcats,) but you can release anything that you want to.

That sounds like a good plan. Guess I need some traps and advice on how to start setting some up.

That can be arranged for a small fortune, I mean a small fee

Greg, I do not have much trapping experience, but how in the world would you release a bobcat!!!!?

Carefully!!

You use a catch pole. You slip a loop over its head and control its movement while your helper releases the trap

OK, what about a skunk? You would need an awful long catch pole.

Love to do that Greg, been wanting to get into some trapping anyway, as if I need another hobby.

Maybe in a few weeks you can come down for a weekend and show me the ropes.

I have 2 nice creeks they seem to follow a lot, if you have a deer die close to one of them they can be on them in hours or less if it is close to dark.

I look forward to it Pappy. Outlaw, skunks are pretty docile compared to other furbearers. You just talk softly to them and pet them on the head

Just be cautious if they want to show you how tall their tail is

Been cold here and isn't supposed to warm much until Sunday, We have the youth hunt going on this weekend but at 10 degrees in the morning I ant sure how many we will have ,it is the last weekend for Deer in TN. and you got to be 16 and under

Guess that leaves
me out.

I plane on finish shooting in and tweaking my Yew bow and maybe smoke a couple more hides, feed and cater to the kids if any show up $:-\$ and relax around a good fire.

Hope yall have a good one, see ya Monday.

Life is Good.

Pappy heres a few pictures and good luck thinning out the trickster

. You would have better luck thinning them with parvo or mange

, They are true surviors and alot of fun to trap but take alot of my time for the amount that I catch

, Everybody up yet, Morning

Hey Greg, If you are lookin for some excite ment try letting a Fisher or an Otter loose with a catch pole, Becareful they don't take it away from ya tie a knot in it and hand it back to ya

Very cool pictures Bob, We are planning on doing some very soon. Great weekend, very cold but as usual we made the best of it, got lots done around the shop and after being outside for a while it didn't seem that cold. Few pictures of the fun. First a load of poles Don got for us to be used on the second bridge, hope to get started on that in a few weeks. Also getting some stuff set up for Coyote hunting.
