Here is a gentleman using a board like I mentioned for release of non-target critters, in this video it was a bobcat...Tom

Thanks Tom never seen that before or heard of that , I always us a catch pool with snare.

[tmrschessie]

You are more then welcome, I described how to make this in the dedicated to the new trapper thread, but asked his permission to use it here...one picture is worth a thousand words...Tom

P.S. I quit using the snare method due to bobcats...they will die very quickly when chocked to long or hard....

[tmrschessie]

Well how many of you trappers found this video helpful? I have access to a number of how to vid's if you like them. Tom

[Scott G.]

Mike I used to use an old blanket....last cat that got that method, shreaded the dang thing LOL...so I started looking for a better method. Tom

[DeerSlayer]

what happens when the animals come after you? seems like an easy way to get rabies.

[tmrschessie]

The board can be used for many things grasshopper....Tom

[trap4fun]

Have you used the board on anything else you caught?

Yes, cats, dogs, coons, that is all I have used it with. Tom

I saw a video on youtube of a guy trying to release a cat using a shovel. He eventually got the trap released but the cat was temperarily on top of his head! Have to admit the video was worth a laugh.

[tmrschessie]

Seen the same one, I don't believe either of the guys really knew what they were doing.....Kind of like the saying ....
"Dumb and Dumber" Just my thoughts on that one....Tom

Very helpful Tom! Thanks, hopefully I will be able to use this information next year when I have my own line.
