I'm guessing a mb 650 is a trap?

Seems like they'd be just as well with a Duke, but then again I suppose they wanted the dog to be there when the camera crew showed up :dunno:

I just read that story on google alerts. Sounds like the dog only got bruised at least.
Actually could be used as a positive for trappers dog not hurt and trap wasn't even padded maybe we could get padded footholds back other than special permits

"who is the idiot"
No one on HW trapping forum, this screams anti-trapping advocate or mischievous teen who wasn't taught right from wrong.

It was a rhetorical question, and I think you mean that you take exception to, not objection to.
:tup:
I wasn't wrinkled up over it, I just see posts pop up now and then asking "which one of you jackwad's left this trash behind" or "which one of you _____"
Always figured HW members are by and large ethical law abiding sportsmen/women.

No tag on the trap?
Nope. My guess is they won't find fingerprints on it either.

There is no way a trapper that knows how things are with the leaf lickers is going to set a mb650 in a park. My guess is an enviro trying to get the public all worked up about trapping.:yeah:
It's either a bunny hugger whack job trying to make trappers look bad or some dumb teenage kids who found one of dad's traps from back in the day and decided try it out.

I take objection that this -being in the trapping forum- insinuates that a trapper on HW may have set this.
"who is the idiot"

KF this does sound more like someone found Dad's or Grandpa's trap in the garage and set it. Being very close to a Elementary School and a bunch of new housing.

I could move it but my take on it is this is something that directly effects trappers and really of little consequence to others. Let it stay where those most effected will see it.
I really don't think it was an anti. I mean what is to gain by making foot hold traps look bad in WA. We already cannot use them. I see two scenarios that sound plausible. One is that it was a kid. Found the trap in the garage and decided to set it and catch something. Set it close to home because not old enough to drive.
The other is some homeowner who is having problems with coyotes, raccoons or whatever and wants them gone.
Neither have a clue about the law are not trappers and apparently lack common sense.
I bet who did it lives near by.
I used to own a bunch of 650s. Really an animal friendly trap, maybe hard to set and remove but I never saw any foot damage from them. I caught a small dog once down in OR in one. Not sure the breed but built like a basset hound. 48 hour check and he was fine. Nice little dog and he was a couple miles up in the woods from his house. I wondered how many steps that was with those short little legs. :chuckle: He curled up by my heater when I took him home and did not want to leave. It was snowing. Did not even limp when I set him out though.
Heard another trapper say all dogs are the same breed. !@#%&@! dogs. :chuckle: They are the bane of trappers. The worst is people have to run to the vet with them when usually at worst they would be a little sore and limping for a few days. Vets have an interest in making it sound bad. They sure aren't going to tell someone their dog is fine, No money in that!

So I looked at the story and it had pictures of the trap. It is not a 650. Not really sure of the brand but it is a 4 coiled (probably after market) #3CS.

You think an elementary aged kid could set that trap?
It may not have been an Elementary student, but Middle School the area is a huge housing development.
Took less than a minute to find this and with a smart phone they have a instructional video while they are practicing;
