This ain’t funny. She’s a pathetic thief. Deserves no less than a man doing the same crap. Don’t sleep on a few well placed 330s dusted under the snow, you’re just trying to catch that smart predator that’s raiding your traps, right?

I'm not convinced it's her at all, that trail is well used, probably by her, you probably put a trap line on her walking trail  :bash:


You need to quit setting up on urban walking paths dude, she ain't far from home.   Unless I don't understand what "broke trail" means

Ok, if you follow her tracks in the snow and see she lives in a house made of gingerbread, RUN!

Move the trap! We don't need any bad publicity and I can guarantee you anything that goes public will go against trappers.
But that's not right, its the way it is though.

All traps pulled from that area to avoid any possible conflict  I'm to old to put up with this kinda crap and not get angry and ahead,  but taking ecaller out to attempt at calling this critter in. Spooky thing is the tracks followed my path for quite aways before stepping off on virgin snow where I could get decent  picture  no tracks around when moved trap to new location, first trap check after moving there they are.
Fortunately able to move traps to some fenced private property

Did not set up on any urban walking path, when I set traps I was the first one to make tracks in 3 feet of snow and trap line was 3.49 miles (according to onx) broken trail is making new trail through virgin snow. Yes trail is well used as per regs traps checked everyday so just my going in and out everyday is going to make it well used.

Not that time but that trap was put in that location just a few hrs earlier than the picture.

You found her little puddy tat! You need to contact her! That was all she was looking for!
It would be sort of humorous on all of us if it turned out her deceased husband was a trapper and she was reminiscing about the ‘Good ‘ole days’ while following the trap line.
I doubt that is it, but you never know.

If she were all the things people said about her here,  when you put her on social media, she would have closed the trap doors every time without fail.  You even threaten her harm, and she didn't even mess with your traps by your own admission.

This thread just shows innocent until proven guilty is so forgone in this country , you have zero proof , if it really was your intention to catch them why wouldn’t camera be within site of trap come on really  ,  and then you say you would make them
Walk back barefoot let’s be real here we have laws for a reason , report it try for your photos or  move spots which does suck but trapping and hunting are losing a footing all the time because of  this crap

wrong , I caught a guy that did worse to my trap by destroying it and releasing a cat and the state did not prosecute them so if I catch someone messing with my traps they’ll be lucky to be able to walk out on 2 legs . Absolutely no difference then someone stealing or messing with your stuff on your property. The reason our foothold of hunting and trapping are disappearing is because of people that are cowards and not standing up to people ! 100 years ago thieves got hung or shot or the very least the crap beat outta them

Has nothing to do with being woke , we have a court of law for good reason sucks they didn’t prosecute them and I don’t know  why they wouldn’t if you did give them all the info , I have held someone at gun point pulling quads out of my garage  and almost faced charges , what I am saying is saying someone is guilty without proof like posted here doesn’t help  at all  , given if you wanna take the risk  hey do you it’s the point of innocent until proven guilty is in place for a reason

just like the 2 wardens that took his “illegal” traps last week ? I was on the phone for a couple hours and resolved it to where the wardens took the traps back to him and recinded the ticket with no apology for what they did ! I will say officer Day was super good but with what happened to my stuff and the court I’ll use country justice over the courts period
