As a kid I used to trap 40 years ago in Ky. I enjoyed the video and the interaction with the game warden was perfect. You were respectful he was too it doesn’t get much better then that. The dog proof trap is new to me as I grew up with foothold and coni bear traps. But used a lot of sardines as bait usually hanging it from a low branch with the trap under it

[@dmo7815]

I like dog food mix with peanut butter mixed in. Heat the pb in the microwave add dog food and mix as it’s used. I use dog proof traps ,$15. at rural king . If it’s going to rain put a plastic cup smeared with pb to keep the rain off bait .

[@lisagrafton2529]

My husband uses the dog proof traps to catch raccoons in our Barn. He's caught appx 50! They are so destructive, he had no choice! Peanut butter works great in those traps, because they have to really work their paw to get it, and that springs the trap. He stopped shooting them, after they were caught, because it makes a bloody mess. Now he gets a pitchfork, to anchor them down, and stands on their chest. They die quickly and cleanly!

Sardines are great, put a chunk between two saltines and munch away. Can't say how many times over the years that was my dinner. And yes the canned ones like you had you eat the bones, fins and all. There used to be massive amounts of what are called smelt, essentially fresh water sardines in the great lakes. Many decades ago used to go dip netting at night off of piers for those and bring them home and deep fry them, Man those were good.

Ask the game warden to check with places who process deer, to see if they'd be willing to process deer he kills,and donate the meat to a homeless shelter, or food bank....or even a church (I know there are rules about selling the venison, but can they donate it?). They likely have people who could use the venison, mostly ground into "hamburger meat". Churches may also have people willing to process the Meat.

nice work, the warden was cool about the situation but you would have had to deal with the dog by yourself if the trap was anchored. not worth the back and forth about a leash law so you handled it well.

[@ShaggyRogers1]

Not really anything about a leash law, but more about a possible liability thing. If the trap is anchored, then there is no question that the dog wasn't on the right property and that it was a complete accidental no-liability involved trap situation. The trap not being anchored means that OP, Rip n Stick, can't prove that he wasn't trapping on the wrong land. You only need a preponderance of evidence for civil level infractions, which means just more likely than not, or 51% proof. Neighbor's dog is injured. The dog has your trap on its leg. It's now on you to have to prove the dog wasn't where it was allowed to be rather than your traps being in a dangerous location.

[@jimshutt7613]

you make a fantastic point, one I'd not dispute. young and old trappers should take your words of wisdom to heart. no trapper wants to catch a dog or cat on accident and then to be sued. for me to point out Leash laws was silly..... I always anchor my traps and mostly use dog proofs for coons. but if a Beaver trapper is legally in the right and an unleashed dog gets a good wiff of Back Breaker Lure it will go check that smell out. people who let their dog free range in the woods I have no problem with.

I just read a comment saying this exact thing but I'm going to say it my way. The Owner of the animal is at fault! Laws for pets running loose should be extremely strict i.m.o.. Hunting with dogs I'm supportive,just allowing your pet dog or dogs to run loose is extremely irresponsible and dangerous. I'm not biased I feel exactly the same way about cats. Dogs will run deer to exhaustion,force them into or across roads,etc.. . Cats have already been linked to spreading diseases to deer and possibly other wildlife. So their actually a biological hazard and not to mention their spree/fun Killers. Cats will kill to quench their natural instincts but are conditioned to eat cat food,so many times they kill and leave it. They create dead zones where the wildlife move away to avoid the predator pressure. If you keep Cats and no longer see any birds,Squirrels,Chipmunks,Voles,Mice,they Avian that naturally feed in those species? Guess what,it's because your Cats have terrorized them out of the area or successfully preyed upon them. I honestly believe if your not a responsible pet owner,you should be legally prevented from owning any! I say this out of experience I was that pet owner in a bad way but the more educated and passionate I've become about being a good Land/Wildlife Steward I've realized my errors. Please spread the word. Also do not quit going to that area. When you recede like that it implies fault and you've done nothing wrong. As Outdoorsmen we mustn't retreat from out rights and utilize the land set aside for us. Thanks!
