Default Strange catches

Snared a coyote carrying a rabbit, the coyote was dead with the rabbit along side the neck inside the snare.
A mink was dragging a muskrat when they went into a 110 conibear, they were both dead side by side.
A muskrat triggered a 330 conibear, the trap was closed with the rat dead and floating 4-5 feet away.
Probably others I cant remember.

I think that's why these guys haven't submitted pics.

Default Strange Catch

One spring I was doing gopher control near my yard. Thought I would try a plastic tube trap (might be called black hole) I think they are designed to place in a mole tunnel. They are not good on gophers. I had a few pieces of popcorn left in a bag in my truck so I thought I’ll try this for bait. In the morning a skunk was hanging from the trap by his very pointy nose. With his wind cut off I don’t think he went 10 ft. If I knew how to load pics I would find it & do so.

I think i caught a dirt bike once in a snare when i was a kid!

Buddy caught a dutchman once in a ram at the forks, of course i got blamed!

Most strange animal catch was a bobcat in a snare with a cottontail between the snare and its neck, cat still down quick.

Caught a black coon once, very pretty coon, wish i hadnt sold it, tho we have a bunch in the store now tanned.

Never a black coyote or leucistic or albino, not even a single cross or silver fox. Couple blue/gray bobcats, those were neat. Never seen one of those ever at the sale. At least one ended up in a museum somewhere in Ont.

1 cougar once, that was cool for me. Too bad the AB govt prefers to incinerate them rather than somebody utilize.
