        I know these are hypothetical questions but on our lease I don't think they will take to kindly to limping deer just because I wanna try my hand at some trapping. If you feel it's more a rarity than a more common occurrence then I'd be willing to get into it.

        We definitely have a coyote problem.
        Not usually they pull out mine did yesterday. An if they do limp it's not long.

              I just got a Duke #4 for a coyote problem that I have. I have leveled the pan and night latched it. What else should I do to prep it? I have read that you can wash it in dish dawn and then spray paint, boil in baking soda, or soak in vinegar and water? What is the green screens recommend way to get theirs trap ready.

                Thanks BK.

                It’s a lot of work, but every coyote I catch makes it all worthwhile.

                You & BT would probably have twice as many coyotes if either one of you guys were trapping here.

                  I don’t believe that at all but thanks for the compliment. I caught a cat and a coyote today. I didn’t get pics because the ranchers found them first. Worked out well for me though. I went and did some gun trading and picked up a Ruger 77/22 hornet for my daughter.

                        I like 1" foam, cut from a roll that you can get at Wal-Mart. It's cusion material.
                        I do not like polyfill.

                                It starts with a four foot Ketch-All pole Dale.

                                It’s plastic coated cable is self-locking, so when I pull the noose tight it stays locked until I release it.

                                I slip the noose on the cat and cinch it down, then lay the pole on the ground and stand on it while I compress the trap levers with my hands to release the jaws.

                                Then I pull the spring-loaded release and cut him loose; and pray he doesn’t run up my leg.

                                Seriously, all the cat wants to do is put as much distance between the two of us as possible.

                                To help persuade the cat to run the opposite direction, I usually put a small bush or clump of grass in between the cat and I before releasing him.

                                The whole process takes about twenty seconds.

                                The cast trap jaws are smooth and offset , so there’s no foot damage to the cat.
