Hand-In-Trap Video: The Truth About Trapping
Modern day trapping is humane and ethical. The comfort of the animal is of most importance. Traps hold, not hurt. This video depicts an actual Bridger #2 set on my coyote trapline, and demonstrates how the trap fires and holds the animal. If you are against trapping and came to this blog to harass me, please watch this video first:

My first HARVESTED Wisconsin Bobcat!
After a 6 year wait for a tag, releasing 8 bobcats in the past two years, and releasing a smaller one two weeks ago, I FINALLY HARVESTED A BOBCAT!!
Just shy of 27 pounds, female, beautiful spots, amazing cat. I'm so incredibly happy to put my tag on this animal. It's been a busy work week, first a wolf, then a badger, now this cat. Clark County, WI. Full body mount for sure.

| This trap was here for 12 trap nights. The paw print is where the trap is bedded. Notice I clearly guided this set because right in front of it is a deer scrape, so the sticks keep the deer away. Bobcat urine on the bone and Spiked Mice Predator Bait by Southern Snares & Supply down the dirthole. |

Wisconsin Trapping Season 2017-2018
A photo series of the critters I'm catching this season. Updated as I catch them...

| I do have a bobcat harvest tag this season, however I've waited 6 years for it, so I released this young tom because I caught him on the very first night, and my season is 2.5 months long. I really hope I don't regret it later if I'm sitting on an unfilled tag, but either way, releasing a young cat is always a best practice. Caught on a Bridger 2 dogless on a saber drag, using JUST MICE predator bait from Southern Snares and Supply. |
