My brother traps but some of our friends group have not taken the course. My brother reached out to [email protected] regarding potential course offerings and below is the response he received for any

It ain’t about the money guys , it’s about the challenge.... at least it is for me. You’ll never get rich by trapping.

Full disclosure------ My first release was about a 20# coon. If there had been video it would have gone viral....lol. It was in a dog proof trap. I dropped the loop over its neck after about 20 tries

what are you running for traps?

My buddy sets them and I do not know what they are called lol, Ill ask him. They are dirt hole sets. We just checked and had fresh tracks heading toward and around every single trap and no catches. It was exhilarating following the tracks in to the traps! And i found a "sign post" clump of grass they marked, we may move a trap there tonight

I'd definitely set on that. Worth a trap on either side. That last big male we go I put a trap on both sides. Imagine a male dog cocking it's leg to pee on that clump. back foot or front foot location is what you want. I't won't be set like a dirthole off the clump if you can follow me.

you might want to revisit that chapter...lol
You're right damn. Pan tension only helps with smaller animals not stepping on it. Though it could also be said if he was hunting for coyotes he may want to increase the weight to prevent the smaller fox by catch

What type of set? Dirt hole?

Serious question how hard is it to hit the fox with a .22......when you get close do they jump around a bunch?

It isn't that hard. I use a pistol. Biggest issue is, at times, they keep wanting to face you and I like a double lung shot. They tend to bounce a bit when you pull up but until then I usually see them laying down. They all  act differently. some howl, some growl, some just stand there, They all tend to clam down a bit if you talk. If you plan on releasing any, everything I said goes out the window and soon as the catch pole tightens up around their neck. Then it's game on.

Keep your first of each specie and get it garment tanned as a wall hanger.

Full disclosure------ My first release was about a 20# coon. If there had been video it would have gone viral....lol. It was in a dog proof trap. I dropped the loop over its neck after about 20 tries becasue it was sitting there and reaching up and batting the loop away with it's hand.  When I tightened up he transformed into a Siberian Tiger right before my eyes. ...I used the pole to take all the slack out of the trap cable and pinned him down on his back. Now remember this is a DP so it is always a front foot catch. That really doesn't put your hands all that far from those nashing teeth. I'm holding the pole in one hand, leaning forward and reach down with my strongest hand to compress the DP spring and let it go. I couldn't do it with just one hand. so I put the pole end in my left armpit and lean forward. so my legs are at a 45 and the pole in my armpit. I look like a big tripod. reach down with both hands and compress that spring. As soon as the pressure on his foot was off he spun to his feet and took off running. What happens to a tripod when you kick out one leg?.....yup. fell on my face and luckily reached out and grabbed the end of my pole that was fast following the still attached coon. I got him calmed down a bit and released the tension on the loop and off he went.  I then looked around to see if anyone was around.
