Default RE: Hey Trappers!!!!

Well, I've got a couple.
Me and a friend were going duck hunting on my friends slough and we were driving up the road and right at the opening in the fence something was digging up the ground where there used to be fox dens. So, thinking that this was a groundhog--possibly a badger we set a few traps in the den and left it, not sure if we would catch anything. The next day my friend was walking up that road and saw that one of the holes a trap was in was completely plugged. So him and one of my other friends proceeded to try to dig the hole out using just a stake--that's all they had. They got through the foot of dirt-the chain was going in the opposite direction of the den, and when they got through the dirt- they nearly pissed their pants. A nice-sized badger was waiting for them. So my friend went to the truck and got the .22 and stuck it in the 1 inch hole they had made-and when the badger attacked it he shot it in the head. For the next hour my two friends fought over who got to reach into the hole to pull the badger out. He is a rug on the wall now.

My next storie is about me. I was trapping a local wildlife and decided to set a fox/coyote trap on top of a small hill bordering grass and trees. I used a #2 victor foothold and dug a hole at the base of a dead tree and put half of a rabbit into it. I tore some hide off of the rabbit to put in the tree as a visual attractant. I also put some coyote lure on the tree. The next morning I was walking down the trapline and heard a chain being pulled-you know- CHING---CHING... so I got all excited, this was my first canine, but when I got to about 10 feet from the trap I didn't see anything, but the trap was in tall grass, so as I walked up to the trap I didn't see anything and it was quiet, then, CHING, and I saw the rabbit hopping around with the trap on its foot.
