I don't care what size it is, just has to be stupid enough to step on my pan

Im enjoying the reading on here. Never have trapped, etc.

Do you guys eat the animals?

Use the fur?

What's the hole for that's next to the trap?

Does the trap break the animal's foot?

I'm asking, not to bash on you guys, just that I'm curious.

Now worries
1) sometimes but not usually I will use them a lot of times to trap other critters make scents ect
2) I use some of the fur but mostly sell it the market seemed to drop the last 2 years though
3) that is called a hole set..the hole is were you place your bait down deep in the hole so they have to dig at it..in there digging they go around the hole till they .end up stepping in the trap and can't steal the bait as easy
4). Typically no its catching them by the pads of the feet..if you ever looked at your dogs feet they usually catch between the toe pads and the palm were you can kinda grab em..if the trap sixes are wrong or too tight you can but I have released plenty of regular dogs and housemate and bobcats which no worse for wear Cept maybe a sore paw for a few hrs. The thicker the jaws on the trap the bigger the contact patch the less Likely to break the feet they are

so is there a bag limit on the cats? or like can you only hunt the males? or females in certain times of the season (in the event it has cubs)?

In Utah it's 1 tag 1 animal, there's on a certain amount of animals they like killed, A lot of people like to kill males only, but some people (idiots) kill females too. They don't kill females when they have fun either.

so females are not allowed to be killed? or is it just an unwritten rule?

Unwritten rule, people kill them and its whatever.

Kinda unwritten like killing a female bear early season...more times than not even if you don't see them they have Cubs and now you've just killed 2 bear..or more depending on how many Cubs she has...not illegal but not cool if you can tell the difference.. I could a shot 3 bear this year all females so I passed 2 had Cubs show up 5 minutes after the momma..ill let them get big ones gotta be a boy

All I got today was a rabbit. Free bait

prodeer · Dec 1, 2015

Nothing again expect from a ground squirrel in my cage. I think it's the one eat my deer corn.

prodeer · Dec 2, 2015

Worst day ever went to check my trap line and 1 cage smashed up and another one door missing and the 3rd one is missing. But the worst part is I had a camera watching one of the cage it's gone to.. I hope to find the no good bastard who did this and beat the shit out of him. 400.00 in damages to the traps and my camera
