You' re right about that, if I was left in a trap for a few days I would do the same, that' s why most states require the trappers to run thier trap line every 24 hrs. Do you not realize that there are lots of people who trap for furs, do you really think that very many coyotes chew thier legs off before the trapper checks his traps and uses a .22lr of .22 short to dispatch them. At 13, I don' t think you know as much as you think you do.
