I lost one today, but I'm not sure what. It was a set on an old logging road through fairly open woods between two big clear cuts. I had some bobcat gland lure on a cotton ball pushed into the end of a hollow log, with some red fox urine squirted on a rock for good measure. I had also hung a flashy cd from a branch a few feet away. There was a decent catch circle and the brass trap tag was absolutely mangled. Would a coyote work a set with a cd hanging beside it? Would a bobcat or a raccoon mangle a brass tag? I'll try to remember to take some pictures tomorrow.

My guess would be a big coon.

Coons around here love to chew on my tags and if they get a good grip on anything substantial can easily pull out. X2 on a big coon. At least you dont need to feel too bad in this market not much money lost. You'll get him next time around.

Id say Boar coon also

Offset jaws? Big boar coon.

I keep spares in a pill bottle in my trapping bag. Keep them little hog rings for attachment in there too.
