Wolf Creek Eliminator #1 Overview

[@WildAboutBeingOutdoors]

Cool video buddy. Nice job on review! I have his #2 regular jaw traps 1 ½ dozen. I love the trap, it reminds you of a Montgomery. The only thing I had to do to them was smooth the in side of the jaws they had a sharp edge. I will be getting more of them . They have some strong holding power.

Just out of curiosity, are traps set for sport? For some reason? I hate the idea of trapping a wolf or bobcat and maybe they have kids waiting for them in a little burrow (and Mom never comes home). And then they die a slow, agonizing death. Are these traps necessary? The animals of the world stand no chance against us because of our superior intelligence but, per Dale Carnegie, “Great men show their greatness by how they treat little men.” Plz try to treat the little creatures under your power as humanely as possible

Traps are set for 1 or 2 reasons 1. Fur: You trap them for their fur, but fur prices are extremely low, so it it is hard to make a living or make money trapping, so I believe many people trap for fun, and take the fur so as to get something out of the animal. 2. Wildlife management/pest control: The DNR will sometimes use traps to catch and relocate or tag animals. Property owners or a pest control company may use a trap to catch an animal if it is making a mess of their yard, a danger to their kids, or eating their livestock or the deer they want to hunt. And I understand your concern about not wanting animals to suffer, and no one really wants that, so traps, tactics, and regulations have improved, and hunters or farmers put down thier game or livestock ethically. But at the end of the day they are still animals, so it's ok for us to use them.

Trapping is done in the fall and winter when all young are grown and able to fend for themselves. Trapping is done for population control, meat (here in Alaska I eat muskrat, beaver, and Lynx caught on the line), and their fur either to sell or for your own use. Fur is a renewable textile. By the time a pelt is tanned and made into a garment, that animal has already been replace on the landscape. It’s also all natural and biodegradable unlike petroleum based fabrics.

@ yes, thanks for the education. I think the huge limiting factor for me (and others like me) is when I want meat I go to the store and there it is, wrapped in pretty cellophane, nobody’ has to get their hands dirty, etc. I don’t see the part where the animal is slaughtered, i don’t see the part where the animal is butchered. So, yeah, I must be mindful and respectful that just because I see meat wrapped in pretty cellophane at the store that I’m still part of the food chain and I eat other animals (just as they do)
