Title: $%*cken Thieves
Post by: butcher98951 on November 21, 2011, 07:27:39 PM: So yesterday me and my daughter age 11 went out to check her snare line (13snares) ended up with 3 stolen that had dogs in them, So she shook off her lose and decided to re set them and set 4 more so know she has 17 out there. So at home eating dinner she turns to me out of the blue and says dad i really want to punch them in the face. So on Monday (today) we go out to check her line and find that she had 2 more dogs but they stoled them and all 17 snares this time, so my daughter breaks out in tears at home and just wants to give up, I hope the these thieves are very happy about what they did, She is know scared to set out all her traps because she pays for everthing she has from her last years fur.. Very Frustrated Father!!!

Post by: Humptulips on November 21, 2011, 09:15:05 PM: So let me get this straight. You set some snares. They were stolen and you called the Game Department. This all happened in the Yakima area. Better be on the Res or you are in for a big ticket. Setting snares is a Gross Misdemeanor.

Hope this is on the Res for your sake. If it is and everything is OK you might want to consider trying to set in a place less likely to catch dogs. It doesn't seem to matter to people that their dog wasn't hurt. They still flip out. Might be just one person got their dog caught and now are on a mission to find all your snares.

Post by: Machias on November 21, 2011, 10:01:32 PM: I'm assuming by dogs he's talking yotes and I figure since he posted on an open forum that he's legal with the snares....I hope anyways.
Title: Re: $%*cken Thieves
Post by: butcher98951 on November 21, 2011, 10:09:01 PM: Yes by dogs i mean Yotes, never caught a domesitic dog to this day, and yes we are legal we are licensed to use snares, why else would i call the game department come on know..

So that puts things in a different light. Hope I didn't offend but off reservation it's illegal and it wasn't clear to me where it was.
Makes you wonder what they are going to do with the yotes. I think I'd call the furbuyer and give him a heads up. Might turn up something.

Post by: sirmissalot on December 02, 2011, 03:52:41 PM: If this happened to me I would give up fur trapping and concentrate on catching the thieves. Thats total BS. Hope you find them.

Post by: gaddy on December 02, 2011, 03:56:11 PM: is there any larger "traps" that could be set around the area that still stay within the legal peramiters?

Post by: wraithen on December 02, 2011, 04:08:28 PM: Since mouse and rat traps are legal build your own. Build a very big one and cover it with leaves with a snare on the release. Game cams might work.

Post by: wablkandtan on December 08, 2011, 08:28:50 PM: It's a weird thing were the snares are. There by an orchard. I didn't know people would eat yotes. The people stealing them aren't smart enough to sell them I personally think there going in the crock pot. Me and her dad are going to do some catching on thieves real soon. Even if they don't understand my language there are a few things in this world that are universal and one being the blued barrel of a colt 45.
