Awesome I remember when I trapped my first cat.  It was in a foothold and I was in middle school.  I was scared $#!^less cause it was jumping around on the end of the chain right at us.  Not as big as that one though.

Not to sound like a *censored*, but once you got it in the trap what method do you use to kill it.

Depends on what you have.  For less damage you can use a choke pull, or shoot it in the head with a .22.

Yep or drown it, lol.  Forgot about that one.  Some animals you can inject but I am not sure if you can for all or just some.

I shot it but I wish i would not have. Not shure how the choke pole would have worked on this one he had a really bad attitude.

Cats go under pretty quick with a choke pole.

Nice cat! My grandpa used to trap all the wild or farrell cats around his place and lower his trap down off his dock into his pond :o Did the trick.
