Been trapping with my kids and finally managed to get what I assume what would've been my first coyote or fox but what was left was an empty trap with blood someone's footprint that wasn't ours in all the freshly tore up dirt and bloody leaves needless to say my 6 year old was (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) and so was I

Hate a thief! But congrats on the catch I guess. Maybe you’ll catch the culprit without your son along and can show them the errors of their ways. Always record yourself giving them the opportunity of calling the cops first…it will save you some explaining later. Cut recording off, that’s the time they “attacked you” and you had to defend yourself. I’ve never had one want to call the cops, so have fun!

Sounds like a good method right there, this is what I hate about state land someone always feels entitled and thinks everything is theirs

darn the luck!
