We as trappers need to stand against poachers and animal rights nutjobs. If the story is true and the setter of the traps was indeed using illegal methods then they are a poacher. I dont know what message you'd want give the media but it should be short and concise and not have any part able to be taken out of context.
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

The part I’m having trouble with is a 30lb 6 month old coyote pup. How much more of their story is BS? Also, how do they know where the trap was set?

If the trap didn’t have a tag I’m gonna go with poacher. Bad situation all around. Not really much can be said however we can all be more vocal about ethics and poaching at the appropriate times and in the appropriate settings. This incident is a good example that shows how the actions of poaching and not using ethical practices can damage our community and sport with a negative image.

How do u know it wasn't just set for groundhogs legally by a wildlife control person or groundskeeper of golf course???

Thany You all; Someone indicated to me, the ends justify the means and that this kind of Carnegie is created by Animal Rights people. A pitcher similar to the one that I posted was used to help get signatures to stop trapping in Massachusetts https://youtu.be/z-KovKteQdE In addition, it was reported that the TV advertisement used during the 1996 ballot question one that stopped trapping used a dog that was hit by a vehicle and lost its leg although the TV add indicated the dog lost its leg by a foot-hold-trap. Another instance, after question one was passed, a while back, it was reported in the media that a dog had a trap attached to its foot and was running around town. Eventually, the dog was caught by a police officer and turned back over to animal control. The dog lost its leg; yet, it shows up at the State House when there was trapping bills being considered. When it was brought to the handler’s attention by an attendee, if the animal control officer put the trap on the stray dog and let it loose; so it would lose its leg. Then it could be used for the hearing, the dog disappeared from the hearing room and was not used as a living picture before the hearing procedure. Yes, that someone who indicated to me, the ends justify the means, is real. Any outdoor wrighters using the Forum could help us all with media responce issues.
