I've had a similar thing happen and it was just a coon that didn't expire immediately and fought the trap hard. Never had a coon taken by a yote or eaten on at the trap site despite plenty of opportunity.

If I am going to anchor to a tree I use 3/32 cable. Wire is to hold your muffler up. Take a dog along if you have one. "Not Really, Not Really" Mark J Monti "MJM you're a jerk."

I saw a young bear in a clear cut here yesterday, there is only 2-3 inches snow on the flat, The spring coat sure does shine in the sunlight.

Had flagging with rabbit strips to hold lure about 3 feet in a tree and it was pulled down and shreaded. Bobcat season closed Feb.1 Buck(formely known as Zandra)
