Dispatching trapped animals without a firearm
« on: August 25, 2013, 10:07:05 AM »
How do you go about dispatching animals without a firearm and not damaging the furs?  :dunno:
Couldn't really think of a way while still being humane.

I was thinking maybe like vehicle exhaust? carbon monoxide.. Same way lots of people commit suicide. :dunno: Not sure if that's humane or legal though.

May not want to post methods of dispatch on a public forum, could easily be used against you by the animal worshipers. Drowning may not be an approved method of dispatch. I think this topic should be done by PM only, just my two cents. On trapperman.com dispatch info is only done by PM.

Thats why I said humane. lol. I don't know any trappers. To me its no different than hunting, Guess we should stop posting our hunting pics and stop talking about how large our entry wounds are and how it was an easy blood trail because it was everywhere unless its through pm to eh?  :dunno:

Just saying.

This may be the best idea Ive seen. I dont want any marks that are big enough that you cant cover up with the fur. Bullet holes diminish resale value from what I've read. Plus I cant handle firearms anyways.

There is a guy on youtube (cant think of his name) who has not several videos of him dispatching all his game with a co2 powered pellet rifle, which does the job perfect with one shot everytime.
Considering how incredibly hard it is getting to find and purchase any 22 ammo, I am really thinking about buying an air rifle for trapping this year. I believe you can still use and carry an air rifle if your a felon.  :dunno:
