With the Belisles I have made: tail catches, front foot catches, back foot catches, and both a front foot and back foot same time catches. Sometimes even by the head!
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Lot easier to do with a magnum body gripper, I have even caught a couple by the castors --and they were'nt Belisles,because I don't own any. Tom

Caught one by the tail.....Cuz the tip was in the trap....and the cable tie off ,was twisted like a rubber band on a balsa wood airplane. And I caught him the next day.
It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

I caught a beaver by the tail one time. It went swimming by me in a small creek like I wasn't even there. I reached down and grabbed the tail and dispatched it as fast as I could. I even had a witness. Put a couple beers in him and that story is bound to come up. (Mic drop)
