Christmas morning trapping

[GoatPenBro]

Had a little kitty in the possum den set this morning. Got a call from @Railroader first thing and I headed out the door. Turned out to be a good release and a good Christmas morning for all involved. Video linked.
The Christmas Cat debacle

Yep, that release took a bit of planning and a devil-may-care sporting attitude...

I rolled up on the trap, and found him in that old burrow with his leg stickin' out.

Thought for a second about just releasing his foot, but when I poked his leg, I wish I had recorded the commotion...

While I was waiting on GPB, he came out of the hole and went nutz, I was very glad I wasn't squatted in there with him...

After all that, maybe he will vamoose The Goat Pen!

@Doug B. just rides thru and throws traps out the truck window, and the critters set it and step in it themselves...

Merry Christmas guys. I’m on a small beaver job in a subdivision. First pics from this morning. Second pic from 2 days ago. I think this is the pair causing problems. Shouldn’t be anymore here.
