Don't want damage to the fur. That's understandable. We had buckets full of traps grandpa used to set around the turkey farm between the hot wire and outter fence. Barn cats were the primary target as I mentioned in the turkey thread.

 :chuckle: There is probably a bit of difference between a fox/ coyotes distal tib/fib vs a human finger. Last I checked a human does not have quite the fur a fox/coyote has, hence leaving only flesh and bone to whack.   :chuckle:   And, of course everyone knows that foot holds dont break bones!

Two of my friends just booked a trip with Babine Lake Outfitters. He's hunted bear with them in the past. We had dinner at my friends house with the guide from Babine after he got packed up at the Sportsman show. They have 100% freeze up. He said many of the animals caught on his trap line are frozen in the morning. They've been hammering the wolves. The more they take, the more show up.

I think trapping should be legal.  BUT i would imagine your bones are a little bigger than that of a beaver.
I would rather be a conservative nut job, than a liberal with no nuts, and no job!

They only time you find an animal in a trap with a broken bone is when a small animal like a skunk or muskrat gets in a #2 or #3.  Never had a beaver with a broken bone, ever, never had a fox or a coyote with a broken bone.  Only animals I've ever had with a broken bone was skunks and a muskrats.
