Agreed - "Oh My' and "Wow" indeed !
If I was in a serious pickle I would hope this guy would be the one to turn up and save the day. Pretty smart, ballsy and damn impressive what he did there. Not many would have even been willing to give that a go. Kudos to that man.


Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing.

I like it much better when one caught something with fur on it.

One killed it it and skinned it and sold it.

It has become a very PITA with all the fur bearers one has to release.

We trapped nutria. Raccoons, mink, and otters were not targeted but we caught them. The last time I trapped full time was around 30 years ago. Fur prices were terrible and I quit midseason. Picking up traps I had an otter and after selling one for around $15 early in the season I decided to release that one.

Trapping wolves, while bears were still out and about ? Confused A certain lack of logic about that.

When I was young my dad told me not to bring in another skunk. So the next one I caught I released from a 1 1/2 coil spring trap without even getting sprayed. Didn't work on the next one though. I guess I thought I was good and didn't give it enough time to get used to me.

Not sure I would attempt a bear half that size.
Did like his technique though.
God Bless, Louis

When I lived in Tasmania I released a Tassie Devil from a leg hold trap he was caught in, I used a steel rake to pin it, then ran like a Mother in the opposite direction after opening the jaws lol !

At the ATA's wolf trapping school I met a quy who has released live bull moose from his snares. He calls the procedure a moose rodeo, and there's a trick to it too.

Shake out a lasso with a loop on the ground near the moose's front legs, and when he sets both feet inside the loop, give a hard jerk, then quickly tie the rope off to a tree. Then repeat on the hind legs. Tightening the ropes alternatively antil the moose drops to one side. Then carefully cut the snare away from the animal, release the ropes, and run for the hills.
