Forgive me if this has been posted before. This guy has some cajones... about a 2 minute video. Incredible. And one very unhappy kitten.

Yeah no kidding. I cringed a little when he tucked the release pole under his arm though... I would have had to slip a couple Xanex in a piece of meat to do that... not sure what I would give the lion.

I've always made the cat VERY groggy before taking the trap off.

I am glad our cats are not that big. Them claws are a bit longer than our Bobcats!

Anybody read the comments?

The uneducated idiots were out en masse on this one.

I purposely did not read the comments because I knew what they would be... but now you have sparked my curiosity.

Yes they don't really know what they are talking about. I like the part where the cat was ensnared by a trap by a toe. They don't have any trappers on their writing staff.

Was that trapper looking for publicity ?

Les I agree, I am one that doesn't need an audience. Even though I like looking at all the pictures that are posted on here I still think twice before posting pictures myself. [Just me I guess]

I don't think I would post a pic of a mountain cat here in MN , lol. The leftys would lock up the north.
