Releasing a bobcat with a oak branch

[@troyfranzen4483]

Power and speed of a cat! Sure makes trapping a bit more exciting when you have to deal with that. You handled that well, Tony

Thanks Troy, I appreciate it. Always a learning experience out there.

I had to do this with a big fisher one time and he was a mean sob.

[@tonyvanasten]

Those suckers can be mean I know that. It sure is a lot easier in a foothold, but it sure is interesting when you’re in the catch circle and they have a 12’ diameter circle to work with lol

I did this with a otter once

[@tonyvanasten]

Haha I bet that was a surprise. I always see coyote tracks on those worn in river bank beaver/otter trails. Those otter have such an awkward wobble and bounce when they are crossing land I could definitely see how it could happen.
