Has anyone ever been concerned about breaking the skin on your hand (with no gloves on) on a trap lever while releasing a dispatched animal? I figure some of the veteran trappers here have had it happen. Thanks in advance.

I looked into it last year. About $700 through the county health department. Considering I've never heard of it happening theres probably a much better chance of getting hit by lightning while removing a coyote from a trap. Last edited by Yes sir; Yesterday at 01:10 PM.

About 48 thousand dollars for the ER visit and shots.
