I know it's controversial.
What about snares, I think snares will prove more effective than any other means.
the only problem i see with snares is either a hounds foot ends up in it and more than likely have to lose the leg or worse get their neck in it, and then you have a dead hound, i know when i trapped i caught some big ass cougars in them and was able to anchor them well enough so they didnt get away and that was with some MB750S, you know as well as i do if the trapper sets it right and puts in enough swivels and a couple good anchor points then the wolf will be there when checked, i dont have hounds anymore, but i know wothout a doubt that you feel the same way about your dogs as i did, and losing one to a snare or coniber will flat just hurt the heart, when a good leg hold will do just as good, and then just haven a hound in a leg hold would be stressfull, just for the fact that a pack of wolves come by and it will be a gruesome sight, oh i know we can beat this to death but the only way to help the hounds and kill a bunch of wolves is to only use leg holds, again sorry if i am pissn anyone off...
