Have you ever tried it? I don't because I don't believe we can in GA, but it is hard work. Trappers work their asses of covering a shitload of ground, normally more than once a day to check their traps. It is a skill, just like hunting, you can't just put traps wherever and expect to catch something. You have to understand the behavior and habitat of the animals you are trapping in order to place your traps in good locations. |

They way I see it, the facts are as follows: there's now an animal running around hurt, and if the DNR guy said it was already suspected of attacking someone, do you think it's going to be more or less likely to do it again now that it's injured? The amount of fail in yours and Red_Labels posts give me a headache. |

Is there any chance if they catch the cat and it matches the description of the one that attacked the kid he'd be able to keep it?
Imagine having that big bastard mounted and stuffed in your den?

That is an incredibly ignorant statement. I have both hunted and trapped, and I assure you that trapping is the more difficult of the two. No, I don't hunt over a feeder. There is a lot that goes into building a proper set and catching only your target animal. The presumptuous, pompous ignorance of the antis in this thread is staggering. |

Kill traps (conibears) kill the animals in a minute usually. They either snap the spine/neck or suffocate the animal...it doesn't linger more than 2 minutes. Hold (leg/foot) traps don't break the skin when they are set. Animals are easily and HUMANLY killed with a .22lr to the head. So how exactly is hunting humane when you chest shoot the animal but trapping not? Especially when in trapping the animal is caught by the foot and doesn't die...a sore foot maybe; then is shot in the head. That's not much suffering and if it bothers you, realize it's an animal NOT a human being.[%| Also trapping is needed for predator and vermin control. Love it or hate it, it's much cheaper and more effective than "humane means". |

Really? I didn't fucking know that I had no fucking skills when I trap! I must have no fucking skills! It's not like didn't have to track the animal, learn its behavior so well that I can figure out where to place a trap that has only a few square inches of surface area, so that the animal steps on it. 
Oh wait... that does take more knowledge than hunting (I trap and hunt) Maybe you should get a damn clue!
If you aren't for trapping you are against it. Because once the animals rights wackos ban it, they are coming for hunting. |

This seems to be going well.
If you have a problem with unethical trapping where the animals suffer for long periods of time or starve to death in the trap or something, I'm with you. If you think that wandering the woods until you stumble upon an animal to shoot is somehow morally superior to setting a trap to catch the animal for you to kill, then you are just being silly. |

How about this...
You go out and take a 1" x 2" area of something soft, and go put it somewhere in the woods and get an animal of your choice to put one of its front paws directly on that small area. Post pics of the fresh material, and then a pic later of the material with the pawprint here. Show us how easy it is. The cousin of the OP made a bad trapping error, however, by not properly securing his trap. He should wire his trap to hold the largest animal in the area, and if that's not feasible, use a drag. |

I learned to trap and hunt from my dad and to say that people who cant hunt trap is so wrong. Done correctly it is the most humane way to control preditors, and other rodents. The amount of work that goes into preperation for trapping is more than you can imangine. As far as not being humane there are several ways to dispatch animals humanely from leg hold traps. Conabare traps are mostly used for water sets for muskrats, mink, beaver; however they work wonders on skunks in a dry set. I have known many sportsman over the years and most who have trapped in the past or still do, are better hunters than most who have not. so hippy boy go pee on an electric fence for being so stupic.

I learned to trap and hunt from my dad and to say that people who cant hunt trap is so wrong. Done correctly it is the most humane way to control preditors, and other rodents. The amount of work that goes into preperation for trapping is more than you can imangine. As far as not being humane there are several ways to dispatch animals humanely from leg hold traps. Conabare traps are mostly used for water sets for muskrats, mink, beaver; however they work wonders on skunks in a dry set. I have known many sportsman over the years and most who have trapped in the past or still do, are better hunters than most who have not. so hippy boy go pee on an electric fence for being so stupic. Wow...there's a real "burn the heretic" vibe with anyone who doesn't tow the party line around here, isn't there? Nonsense- "judge not lest yea be judged".. |

This site thrives on disagreement at times, and if you are going to share an opinion around here you must be ready to defend that opinion with more than "I think" and little knowledge of the subject. If you have never trapped you may not have a realistic view of trapping, just as someone who has never hunted may not have a realistic view of hunting. |

People have been using that line to get others to guiltily fall into there line of thinking for centuries. One should never be afraid to speak there mind and share opinion and we can always agree to disagree. |

Then you have no idea WTF you're talking about when it comes to my knowledge and experience. And as I said before, I'm not trying to stop anyone from doing anything. All I'm saying is that I don't agree with it. Like the poster who said that it's more about respect for your quarry and pitting your wits against his, head-to-head. That sums my views up pretty well. |

Did you think we were going to take up a collection and send you a call girl to thank you for being brave enough to provide a dissenting voice to the discussion? |

It's a different type of 'battle of wits', not a lesser one. It's a different tactic. I would say that trapping a fox or coyote is every bit as difficult as calling one in and shooting it.
I don't know you personally, but I can see your misconceptions and lack of knowledge from here. Experience? Tell me how many years you've trapped yourself, and how easy it was. How many pelts you put on the stretcher per year, per trap put out. |

Ah, but the problem, as i said earlier, is that it is mainly a philosophical argument. It really does come down to "I think." Some people find that kind of "hunting" disrespectful to the prey and always will and some do not. It should come down to agree to disagree but we all know it wont. |
