Oh man that’s gotta be the ultimate slap in the face. Coming up to a catch circle with no animal is bad. Watching it run away has gotta be worse! Lol
Cold as ice!

Checking sets the other day I had a nice coyote bouncing in the trap, pulled up to it, got out and opened my back door for my gun and glanced through my truck window only to see my coyote sprinting toward the wood line. He stopped, turned around and smiled at me and slipped off into the woods. Catch circle indicated he'd been there a while. I'm sure I'll never forget that one! Problem is he won't forget the lesson either - Happens though -

Did it on a double once. Dispatched the first one and started walking down to the second and watched it pop out and run about mach II to the next county. Didn't know what to say except to curse a lot. Walked back to first one and noticed the mange spots on it. Have always wondered if I should have hit the other one first. And hey I agree I have never had a possum or skunk lunge and pop out sure wish they would do that! Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

a good release like that was the biggest bob i ever had to release.was getting ready to put the loop on him and he rocked back and put the final touches of destruction on a old 2 sq jaw.just slowly walked away like nothing unusual.
