Not me, I've only done that in Oregon!

Not fun!

That takes stones...

I love reading the comments with articles like this one... always good for a chuckle

I told the local Warden once that if that ever happened to me he could come and release it for me. Said he didn't think he was interested.
"It would take stones", I think more like boulders.

Ya, like cant find pants that fit kind of boulders. Just that split second while you figure out whether that ticked off bit of furry death is gonna fight or flight. The scary thing is that the cat doesn't likely know what its gonna do either during that split second.

Glad we dont have those here.

I hate toe traps.

Better than what they usually call them, Jim!

"ensnared in a toe trap" , dumbest thing I've heard of misnomenclature .

cast iron ones at that

Man I hate that site. Slowed my computer down to a crawl. I left several pro trapping comments, I wonder when they will be visible. Those UK folks don't have a clue.

Goofy Brits.

"...cat runs around tree..." No, its a shrub aka sagebrush or something like it. But the only shrubs that Brits see are in their ornamental landscaping and this looks nothing like humid plants so it must be a tree.

"wrestled to the floor". No, it was wrestled to the ground, floors are inside buildings. Does it look like its inside of a building??

"trapper wrenches trap off of cat's foot". Sort of overkill here, no? Couldn't they just use "released" instead...?

But then again, we can goofball writers in the US as well. I remember a photo in the local paper (can cover about half the state) showing a guy with a nice big buck deer. The caption read that the animal was taken with a ".243 gauge rifle". Obviously clueless about firearms.

Another time there was a story about our metro from a larger urban newspaper and the city was identified as "Sioux City Falls, ND". I informed them that they were confusing 2 different cities and 3 different states. The response I got was "whatever"...

very precise, methodical, and quick release, think he's done it before, oh and like the comments about how they caught it in a snare!

Yeah I would have to say he's done that a few times before also.

much better than the method i would have used...i would have called the game officer and video taped him doin it...cause my way involves a cat that doesn't move at all

better him than me

Wow...... great big ole cast iron ones!!!!

One of the best releases ive seen. Ive had to release a couple bobcats but nothing like that. I doubt id have the balls to do it.

Not me. LDWF would be releasing that one.
