In conversation recently, I used the term leg hold. It got me some looks.
When, exactly, did we go from leg hold to foot hold? Who made that change?
Thanks.
ergo, bibamus.

Antis kept alluding to broken legs...that is what caused the change. Took me time to get used to it, but I'm there now.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Made the switch back in the 80s. Easier to roll off the tongue once you make the change, especially when confronting antis and/or explaining trapping to politicians who will decide whether or not we continue with all the tools we have in the pack basket.
I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Those still on the fence about trapping care! I feel the same way, but Boss Paul countered with his Daddy always said leghold and that's good 'Nuff for him.

Say what you will but it doesn't matter what term you use to appease the anits. You're not going to appease them no matter what term you use. Technically animals don't have feet, they have paws. So maybe call it a paw hold.
Mark June addressed this very thing on Facebook when someone called him out about using the term leghold. I thought he handled it quite well. He said something fairly close as what to I stated above. Correct. Like anti-trappers will suddenly be on our side if everybody starts saying foot hold.
