Sorry CI... I misinterpererated one of your posts, when you told about altering the trap to keep it shut....

A couple of suggestions....If you have any trapper friends, you might enlist thier help...An appropriate sized conibear trap might do the trick, or a snare pole...Many trappers in my area now carry snare poles on a regular basis to release protected animals such as bobcats, fishers and bears that they sometimes catch unintentionally in thier fox and coyote sets...
