I caught several in a KB 5.5, set them intentionaly when we could keep them and would use them again. The largest one I weighed was 150 on a taxidermist scale, had one I skinned where I caught it I could hardly pick it up! Shot all of them with a 22lr I trap with a dog and have got a few with the dog too. There are a lot of the big cats here, had one in Feb. at the school playground while school was in session , our game warden "rescued" it!

Holy Whale! How much bigger were the women you dated than that??? Did they have the gravity pull of Uranus? LOL

I had one pull out of a 650 after knocking down an opening in an alder grove. Also held them in #3 LSs. My choice would be 1/8th snares.

Was wondering about the snare scene. They are now legal here.

Sam you know as much about my gear as I do LOL
I love the LPCs but these things here will outperform those old school pan system by far. Shout out to the Hammer for the dogless conversation & Flipper for some sound advice


For those poor souls who haven't had to listen to me brag before now
These are the only SC 4.5 dogless I know of.

Those traps still look awesome, Lefty! If I ever had to catch a lion, I'd be trying to buy one of those off of you.

Lefty, I've turned one loose out of an SC 4 1/2, not all fancy like yours, but it held it just fine, with damage to the trap.
