That might not be correct. The last post I saw indicated he had death rayed it and was later bit when it "recovered"

Thanks for the clarification.

Yep, live market is a different deal, close contact several times with each animal.

AR folks like to say people and humans are the same. The rat on your back porch eating dog feed out of the sack is no different than your child. What I cant figure out is my prey animals die quick. A wolf's prey animals often die pretty horribly. Why is it wrong for me to be a predator but great that a wolf is?

I realize you can’t be gentle with wild animals….
But also no reason to blatantly be cruel and make videos manhandling them like some kind of big shot.

Probably the guy has a tiny peepee and gets his jollies in weird ways

I get my jollies in a normal way.

Am I missing something here?

When I catch an animal, I take care of it as quick as possible, in the most humane way available to me. I think 99.9% of hunters and trappers do the same thing. In my opinion those videos are doing serious damage to the image of all sportsmen, particularly trappers.


Have you ever handled coyotes for the live market? I know I haven't, so I'm not sure what it takes to get them out of the trap and into the holding box. If you link the video, maybe some of our live market trappers can weigh in.


You put the coyote tongs or catch pole on them, pin the head to the ground, release the trap, grab both hind legs in one hand, and put them in the pen. Taking them out of the transfer pen can be a rodeo.


Praise the Lord and Pass the ammunition.
