Good morning boys and girls, just another great PR report. In my experiences a big part of learning how to trap is figuring out where NOT to set just as much as learning the right places to set. Away from other humans as much as possible. Good thing it wasn't actually a "snare", the UN would be involved by now and there would be rallies and new laws. DO SOMETHING! The horror, the horror! Here we go have a look at how this got reported... Woman and Dog Injured by a TrapA South Dakota woman and her dog were injured on Friday after reportedly getting snared in an animal trap while hiking in the Black Hills National Forest. The comments below the "reporting" (and I use that term loosely) make me kind of want to encourage the Disney generation to go out and hug bears and mountain lions.... Except I actually Love quite a few of them. Her and Toto are avid hikers and I'm all for it. Still you're in a National FOREST in the winter, when trapping is open, ignorant to the reality around you, and now..... Traumatized.....after prying the jaws of death open and getting your pinkies stuck in it, then committing larceny and violating game laws. But WE are the bad guys!?????
Keep your boots dry and your powder too.
I remember when a fur check was reality.....now I'm just trapping for the love of it.
Best Regards,
JT

Might not be the wisest place to set, but as the official claimed it was legal. I didn't read no mention of broken paws,or fingers. No mention of any bloody lacerations? Multi-use land ??

I saw this in the news this morning and came here to see what was being discussed. I’m pretty disappointed the NTA does nothing to take these opportunities to educate the public about what went wrong in these cases and what the law is. We need to protect our heritage and allowing stuff like this in the news with no response is foolish at best. Defend our heritage! Speak for the masses. This kind of publicity is what will end trapping for good. SMDH.

Yep, it was National Forest Land in fact but I definitely do not recommend trapping on the "human trails", legal or not. For this very reason in fact. The "reporting" says the injuries were minor, I'm glad that Tiger and his master are OK actually, but I'm saying that reporting like this is far from "minor". The comments shown below the report tells the tale of the effects on the public. It's a wonderful world of perceptions out there.

Just because it's legal to set there doesn't make it right for trapping. We've got a few You Tube bozos who promote setting in multi-use areas. Stupid.

I call major BS on this women's story.
Look her up. She has multiple arts degrees. Her artwork is mostly animals. The style is impressism, like Salvador Dali's. Which to me is a bit weird type of art , never been a fan of Dali's work , it's just strange. She also holds certification as a licensed counselor , dealing in anxiety and depression. If she deals with people with anxiety , why would she flip out when her dog got caught ?
I'm not doubting that much that her dog got caught in a trap , but the way she tells the story makes me think how much of the story is true knowing her backstory.

The piles of shotgun shells was a nice topper to the story. Again. Where is the NTA? You can not only educate those that come to you! Keep doing things the same way this will be a moot subject because trapping will be gone.

Keep doing things the same way this will be a moot subject because trapping will be gone. Again , more questions to her story. Who would set a trap near shotgun shells ? Even if you set a trap there , you would remove the shells somebody left behind as you would not want the odor nearby.

I just read it on Fox News and slipped over here to see if someone posted it. I was 1/3 the way through when I called bs. Pretty sure the South Dakota DNR should ask her a few more questions.

The way the first part of the story is not right from the start when they state that the animal was snared, not foot caught in a trap. As for what she said about the dog get caught in the trap for how it acted is normal when I had some years ago get caught just after I just caught the trap and was in another area of the farm and hear them get caught and how they where till they relax from the first caught shock.

Do not all states require name tags or owner ID of some sort? If the trap had a tag on it this would answer alot of questions but I'm calling BS on her story. Sad part is the damage is done and it'll take alot to change minds.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Whenever a local story makes it to Fox News it seems they run with the original. So in this case the story quoted SD DNR. I seriously doubt the original paper called NTA for comment??? Sooooo....how would NTA know? It is a simple thing to pick up the phone and call an NTA officer or Rep.
