Those guys made it look easier than getting a bird dog turned loose.  😅

         I have a good friend who had a video of himself turning loose a bobcat. It ran under his side by side after he turned it loose. Then had to get it out from under that.

Ya know....... Totally unrelated......But I always have personally considered trapping inhumane as hell, and about as unsporting as it can get.   Maybe back in the day, when the pioneer types did it in order to make a living.....it could be somewhat justified. 

But as any kind of a sporting way to harvest wildlife...... It's just sick.   And yeah I have a couple good friends that still do it, and I have even participated in running their traps with them in the past.....but it has just never been one of my things.   

Yet I grew up running limb lines and trot-lines......So how is that any different? Right? 

There's just something about putting a bullet in a critters head while it is struggling with a foot caught in a trap.....and has been for HOURS.....Yuck!   Or even purposely drowning a beaver, otter, or muskrat.   I wouldn't even do that to one of these stupid feral cats around here.

       Yet you let someone else do that to your pork, beef and chicken. Out of site out of mind? Slaughter houses are no different and can be more inhumane. Kill a spider 🕷️. Its a living creature.

                  I do get what you are saying Glen. It is Compassion. Trapping is no different to what you do catching whites on the river or stream setting the hook crossing the fishes' eyes and then sticking a stringer through their jaws (the trap) and dragging them around until you catch a meal or limit. Then you put them on ice to chill or into a bucket of water for the trip to clean them. they soon begin to suffocate jammed in that bucket. we are all guilty in one way or another. The only answer is for you to become a vegan. Let me know how that works for you 😁. Actually, you have one of the biggest hearts of anyone on here.

I don’t care one way or the other about mt. lions.  What I would like to find is some one who can get rid of some very troublesome beavers that are causing flooding in our bull pen.

I fully realize how hypocritical my view can be.   🙄 

It's as if because the fish on my stringer (or in my livewell)  aren't whining and looking at me all sad, and panicking.....that they are perfectly content with the whole situation.  

 

If spiders would cry a little..... maybe I wouldn't hate them so badly. 😅

I woke up early at the condo a while back and saw a spider on the screen door.   With my eagle eyes I thought it was on the outside and put my finger up to knock it off.  Nope.  He was inside and ran right up arm.   I was doing that dance that looks like your on fire 😂
