Nice video Randy and Jenna!! Happy to see my Relax-A-Lock being shown, as it is a great option for cable restraints.

I never gave trapping a serious thought especially since I live in California but I really enjoy these trapping videos.

how do folks typically dispatch an animal that is trapped using a cable restraint? or are these traps for used for "catch and release"? also, why would someone choose this style trap over a more lethal trap?

[@ronblackburn3683]

GunDog magazine recently published an article about two hunting dogs killed in Montana by a new type of spring tensioned snare. Are there any precautions (time of year, how to release tension on snare, etc) dog owners should be aware of? I have seen warning posters on ranch roads alerting people to poison baits intended for coyotes. I trapped as a youngster but did not have any experience using tension or snare sets.

Small bolt cutters should be in your vest.

All cable restraints do is make it harder to catch coyotes. Good job DNR

Arizona is so restrictive/ anti-trapping, I no longer trap.

This is so disgusting. I've hunted my whole life but I've never understood or respected anyone who traps. Hunters (including Randy) go on about wanting to kill an animal as quickly and painlessly as possible with accurate shot placement etc...that is obviously just an act if they also trap...the two don't reconcile. Either you want to hunt causing as little pain to an animal as possible or you don't give a shit and you trap. Gross. There's a reason this is illegal in most first world countries. Reminds you how backward parts of America still are.

What???? Trapping isn't bad. Why do you think it's so bad? Trapping has gotten way better than before.

[@dcs4880]

@@peterchristensen2528 a trapped animal isn't in distress? What world do you live in? A kill shot when it isn't expecting it is quick. Leaving an animal trapped for hours or days...how is that "not bad"?

[@peterchristensen2528]

@@dcs4880 But, a kill shot isn't always quick. An Animal can run after being shot. It's not always one shot, one kill. Any hunter should know that.

[@dcs4880]

@@peterchristensen2528 That's not the point Einstein. The point is INTENTION. Your intention when shooting is to kill the animal as quickly as possible. Someone who deliberately wounds an animal would be an absolute prick. And someone who deliberately traps an animal so they're distressed and stuck without water or food, sometimes for days, is likewise a prick. Understand the difference?

[@peterchristensen2528]

@@dcs4880 I see your point. But, most states require you to check on your traps every 24 hours. And it depends on the trap. Some traps kill almost immediately.
