Post by: MtnMuley on December 30, 2016, 04:14:49 PM: Very cool. :tup: Back when I trapped a lot of cats, more than 50% would be released. It's a practice I don't see too often these days, but it sure helped my quality tom numbers go up.

Good job

That's just the trigger plate. In my havaharts I used a wood plank to extend the trigger forward and make it a bigger target and it tends to make the traps a little more sensitive.

Post by: MtnMuley on December 31, 2016, 05:49:19 PM: Ha, that's definately their normal routine when the door opens. :chuckle: Some Kittens have a hard time staying out of a trap over and over. Hopefully he isn't one.

Use vimeo.com

I'll have to try that. I was just starting to get YouTube figured out. They didn't give a specific reason just said it was flagged and removed. I filed an appeal, not that it's a big deal but I want to know what is wrong with the video.

Lokidog you have a point. If I put those words in there it would of slipped right by to avoid racial tension.

Post by: eburgtrapper on January 15, 2017, 03:37:35 PM: Not a valid vimeo URL

Title: Re: Catch and release
Post by: huntingfool7 on January 15, 2017, 07:10:41 PM: Nice video and he looks like he committed. Surprised the trap didn't trip. What size cage are you using there?
Title: Re: Catch and release
Post by: eburgtrapper on January 15, 2017, 09:11:33 PM: I think that one is a 12x20x36. I could see where he put his paws in the trap right before the pan and sniffed around.
