Catch and release

I'm not sure if the video will work but here is a little guy from this morning.

Very cool. Back when I trapped a lot of cats, more than 50% would be released. It's a practice I don't see too often these days, but it sure helped my quality tom numbers go up.

It's good to release young cats or cats with poor quality fur and yes you will end up better in the long run !
Good job

That Lil guy doesn't look to happy! Is that the trap pan that he's standing on or do you put a wooden plank in the bottom of your traps?

[MtnMuley]

I'm guessing it's the trigger plate.

That's just the trigger plate. In my havaharts I used a wood plank to extend the trigger forward and make it a bigger target and it tends to make the traps a little more sensitive.

 I'm trying to figure this video thing out

It's says video is private

[eburgtrapper]

It should be changed now. Thanks for the heads up.

[MtnMuley]

Ha, that's definately their normal routine when the door opens. Some Kittens have a hard time staying out of a trap over and over. Hopefully he isn't one.

Hopefully he goes back in few years from now
