Post by: Skinner on January 09, 2009, 08:20:38 AM: 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.

Post by: Grizzly95 on January 09, 2009, 09:12:55 AM: Not to sound like a *censored*, but once you got it in the trap what method do you use to kill it.

Post by: Michelle_Nelson on January 09, 2009, 09:19:14 AM: Depends on what you have. For less damage you can use a choke pull, or shoot it in the head with a .22.

Title: Re: nice big tom
Post by: bullchaser on January 09, 2009, 10:45:51 AM: 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.

Post by: Michelle_Nelson on January 09, 2009, 10:58:24 AM: Cats go under pretty quick with a choke pole.
