Was checking some mink blind sets yesterday and had this Tom caught by two toes. Just had the trap wired off to a tree. It was short enough that he couldn’t really lunge hard, I guess. Sometimes it sure is nice to be lucky!!! [Linked Image]

Nice catch.The surprizes are one of the best things about trapping.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
