“The Stinky Snare” #7191012 02/21/21 08:13 AM 02/21/21 08:13 AM

I stated that I would wipe it down with an alcohol wipe and then relocate it a few feet away, I believe 6 feet was the distance. Since that action I have posted video of foxes walking between two DHs and avoiding the snare in between. That is until last night. Here is the location from the camera angle, give or take a few degrees, after the catch. A nice Red released. Without clear identification I have no idea if this was a new visitor to the area or one of the regulars that forgot the snare was there. Which do you think it is?

Don't think it would have healed over but never caught one that I knew of with that hole.

Have the little ear tag ready next time I noticed leftlane's use of the word "fool" Quote Fox: Today you gonna learn. Here is your memo fool . I've noticed that people from certain parts of the country use "fool" more often than others. I just don't hear it up in the upper Midwest/eastern Great Plains that much. Perhaps it didn't translate well from the German/Norwegians that most of these folks came from. Just a theory... Last edited by NonPCfed; 02/21/21 10:26 PM.

I try not to over think it but yeah- there are prolly reasons for it. Usually when I speak the word fool I make the L silent like Mr. T did back in the 80s LOL. “What’s good for me may not be good for the weak minded.” Captain Gus McCrae- Texas Rangers
