Of course we have to release them here in this part of Pa and that is always fun. To me they are by far the hardest critter to release. And I have released way over 15 and probably 20 by now. They like beaver castor and fish(set for coon)......jk Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free. What's supposed to be ain't always is. Hopper Hunter
