Strut10 Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 These are from Saturday and Sunday. Got another red fox this morning, but I was checking in the dark. No pics of that one. I had almost forgotten how much fun trapping is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ QUOTE ] I always end up with coyote toes or legs, does that ever happen to you? [/ QUOTE ] Nope. Never. Maybe you are using too large of a trap. Do you have the chain swiveled?? Don't know why else you'd end up with legs or toes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shockwave Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Re: Couple more pics from the trapline......... like strut said, do your traps have swivels ?? , the only thing i can add is, how often are you checking your traps ??

Guest Acubond Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Re: Couple more pics from the trapline......... I have swivels, i check my traps every day, and it looks like they chew their legs off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sureshot Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Re: Couple more pics from the trapline......... first off congrats strut, trapping is awsome!!that was my job in school, once I turned 12 and got hy hunters safty I set up a trapline just out of town, woudl walk 3-4 miles a night every night to check my traps, best time I ever had in my life!I stopped trapping once our goverment set up new laws for traps to be offset or padded,I spent a fortune [for a school kid] to buy a couple dozen traps and now some liberal tofu eating peta lovers say we need to pad the traps , i said forget it!I may start up again just waitign to see if the laws change again! when i first started trapping I used to big of traps and they woudl sometimes break the legs on fox,also i did not have swivels I did have one that chewed his leg off it was the combination of the above 2, another reason i could see just claws is puttign to much cover over the pan and them not gettign the jump they need to catch up on the leg, the animal does not step in the trap far enough and just catches the nails and bottom of the foot, with the pull they have I can see them pulling the nails off with little chewing!

ANYONE WHO HAS ADVICE, PLEASE REPLY!! thank you very! much [/ QUOTE ] I gave you some info on another one of your posts, too. But, I'd suggest you invest in a good book or video or both to get you headed in the right direction. If I had you for a few hours, I could get you started. But I don't. It takes a bit of doing to get canines to put their feet in your traps. It's not hard. There's just precautions you need to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
