What do you use to dispatch your cats?, .22 to the melon?
.22 short either right through the ears or if they won't cooperate I will go between the eyes and get it to go down their neck so there's no exit hole the .22 shorts I get are the low velocity I think 720 fps

I have some CBEE .22 LR 740 fps if you want them next time you come.
I bought them for something that didn't work out.

Well caught another female and it was her lucky day she got a get outta jail for free card she was a pain to get out of the trap she just wanted to stay there. One of my other cages had cat tracks all around it and it was dumping snow !!!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160112/196287136ae03540fd49ea2097f5d34a.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160112/6adfcc30fa050ccd96967900bbd35a6a.jpg)

And I e also had pretty good luck when I'm getting low on beaver I'll put a whole muskrat in there and a beaver sholder or the head and it works too. I e never had any luck with bird or fish
When I don't have beaver meat duck carcass is my 2nd choice, I'll agree that fish doesn't work.
Nice catches :tup:

Just curious how do you know this was a female? Are you allowed to keep females? Awesome work!
Post by: Duckslayer89 on January 13, 2016, 01:28:01 AM
NO! But I've caught a couple in this drainage already and her coloring wasn't the best she was really orange and not a lot of spotting so I figure I would rather let her go and breed and keep me trapping in the future in that area it might not make sense to some but it does me . When I start marten trapping next month all females are released no matter what same thought on them too
Ok good thinking. I am new to the trapping scene, I still have to take the class but I am stoked following all these trapping threads.

I've never used duck I tried grouse that I had boned out the breasts and used the scraps but I always go to the beaver meat it's got a strong smell and nice and bloody

Well just got back from the line ....... Minus one trap someone and a big dog decided that they wanted it more than me :bash: they took the cage down the hill then went back up and side hilled all the way around down to another road and then probably drove and got it. Sure pisses me off ! Oh ya it was one of my new ones too >:(sorry to here that. I started locking my traps to trees. I know it might just slow them down or at least make some of them think twice.

Kinda surprised because it snowed enough where my tracks were gone . I think the dog found it first .
I guess this is part of trapping now days or I guess just life that you gotta lock everything up so it doesn't walk away

Anyone try to lock their traps down? I was thinking a couple earth anchors would reduce the chances of a box trap from walking off.made up some 10ft cables and locked up 2 that mean alot to me. The others I hind well. Lock my two to trees and was thinking of making ground anchors to.

There was a guy in one of my areas who I suspect was/is illegally hunting cats with one or two dogs. I've seen him and his dogs. The dogs are hounds on the big size and have the typical orange collars with the brass tags riveted to them. I'm pretty sure his dogs find my cages and bark 'treed' or something and he throws my cages around to vent his frustration. I see the footprints and found one of my cages UPHILL from the set. Somebody got one of my cats out of a cage on my property a while ago. The cage was about 150 yards down a steep finger from the road. So I know he didn't see it from the road.crazy :bash:
