Dog trapping ...5th capture / pics

BowanaLee · Feb 17, 2010

Their no longer OUT OF CONTROL ! :clap:

I called my local animal control to get rid of all these dogs running around my suburban deer hunting area. They were very helpful.
Option 1 was to take them a 20.00 deposit and they'd send an officer to set a trap. I would have to call them when something was captured. They'd only run it a week and Id have to do it all over again. They would send my deposit back by mail.
Option 2 was to get my own trap. Then have an on going process of catching dogs and calling them to pick em up. This could go on year round.

I have a trap with a 15"X15" door. It wont catch the biggest ones. I'll set it today then get the stuff together to build a larger stationary trap. :clap:

My trail cam will be set watching the trap and I'll keep y'all updated. I'm fixing to thin em out ! :yeah:

These guys are on my hit list ! ::;

This one should catch a coyote sized dog or smaller. Its set with dog food, we'll see ! ::;

I'm getting the stuff together to build a bigger one.

I have one just like that Lee, used to set it to catch stuff in the woods behind my house when I was a kid. The neighbors dog was caught in it on numerous occasions.

Oh, and the last hit list I would want to be on would be yours!

I caught a possum. Then a fox came but the trap was full. Didn't want him anyways. :huh:

I let the possum go and set it again. The dogs came but some how they set off the trap. :huh:

Then later that night one dog came back followed by a fox then a yote. The dang trap was set off though.

I think I could've caught the smaller dogs and maybe the yote but those large dogs are to big for the trap. Never know though ? :huh:

I'll have to make a bigger one. I want to play with this one for a while. Dangit, I'm gonna catch something ! :bounce:

Yup, I priced em, all ya need is a few hundred dollars.

I'm probably going to build one out of wire fencing and posts. Some of the wild critters can just climb out. Catch and release. :bounce:

In the mean time, I'll see what this one will do. I did catch a BIG dog one time. A tad bigger than that yote. It was hungry and packed my trap up tight. :bounce:

Now you know why they want a 20 dollar deposit. :bounce:

Yep, bigger trap and brush it in! Good luck!

BowanaLee · Mar 11, 2010

Well, their still out of control but I ain't giving up on em. I finally got the time to build a bigger trap. It caught one on the first set. Must've been a goodun too.
It went through the wire. Yup, tore a hole in it. I patched it up and trying again. We'll see !!! ::;

You can see how its all mud and tracks inside the fence. It was definitely in there. I put it in a place where animal control can ride right up to it for easy access.
You can see in one pic where the black panther tore through the wire. I double patched it. I'll probably add another layer of wire all the way around it.
I put water in the bucket just in case animal control cant make it that day. I want their last days here to be pleasant. :bounce:

Got a feeling were gonna get busy this summer !

What ya think !!! :huh:

I have one there but didn't install it. I wanted the wild critters to be able to get out. Its 5 ft wire so most dogs cant climb it. :huh:

Cottontail · Mar 11, 2010

I got about 50 ft of 5ft heavy guage wire if you want to pick it up or im going to be at bass pro march 26th i live outside winder Ga if your interested, FREE...

BowanaLee · Mar 11, 2010

Thanks Buckmaster but I think this'll geterdun. This is a light weight copy of my hog traps. I used regular chain link fence for them though. Surely this'll hold dogs ?? ::;

Cottontail · Mar 11, 2010

Aight if you change your mind just give me a shout.

24point · Mar 12, 2010

I need to build one of these for my place, get rid of some of those deer chasers

BowanaLee · Mar 12, 2010

Got em !!!!

My son checked the trap this morning, I caught 3 of them. When I pulled up in my truck one jumped up and climbed out. :huh:

Gonna have to put that top on it. But, I still had 2 !!! :banana:

I called animal control and after about an hour they showed up to get em.
He said now that they know where to go, soon I may be able to just call and they'll get em with out me having to be there.
Its set again and ready !! Let the thinning out process begin !!! :whip:

BornToHuntAndFish · Mar 12, 2010

Good job & hope you get rid of them all. When growing up, we used the same type fencing for our 4 to 20 rabbit hunting beagles. They learned to climb that fencing like a ladder to get out, along with almost weekly digging underneath the fencing so we were constantly repairing & modifying the dog pens to keep them in. Good luck in catching all of 'em before deer season.

Awesome, I'm gonna be making one of these real soon. Do you need a trapping license?
