You could improve the plywood method. By putting 2 or 3 different sized paw notches, one on each flat side of the plywood. Putting a couple rope handles on the backside would be helpful as well. This way you could have a cat/fox size notch, and wolf sized notch. Or whatever un-intentional catches happen.

Nice job on the release. A catch pole risks windpipe damage. What a mudball! Can you imagine that cat walking along and encountering another cat? That would have to make the other cat curious.

I am glad they are released. But very sad to see so many traps people made. Such traps have made them exausted, or even they might have injured in some ways already. also very likely would make them more difficult to fight for food and to servive later.

Probably need to use a different term than "catch and release" as so many here ask the same question about why you are catching them. I guess a lot of people think of catching and releasing fish not realizing in this case the original intent was not to catch a bobcat.
@NYJYIK3 жыл бұрын
Excuse my ignorance, but why do people put down these traps?
@CodyMorris2103 жыл бұрын
Our intentions were to catch coyotes. They are overpopulated in this area and we don’t get to hunt them like we would like. So we set out the traps hoping to catch them instead. With that being said, bobcats search for food and they tend to get trapped as well.

We only set them on private property. These traps aren’t like they use to be. There’s no sharp teeth, the intent is to only hit the joint of the animal causing a pinch point. Animals have gotten out of them. Yeah it will cause some discomfort for them but it’s not going to puncture their limbs like the old school bear traps.
