i shoot stuff

dont know were to post this but. i was walkin home from school today and in a trap there was a opossum and i let it out. because its raining freezing rain out here and it was sleepin and shiverin. and i coulndt take it so after sitin out my house for a second i ran back out and let it go. did u guys think i did the right thing. i can understand if its bein a vandal but u cant let it stay out there u need to go out there and pop it right when its in there not let it suffer and starver to death

well it all depends on if it is trapping season or not. If it is trapping season you should have just left it alone. Me personally not being a trapper i would have done the same thing.

i shoot stuff

its in residental neighborhood and i dont think ur aloud to trap here. in this part of the town.

By reading the post, I think you did the wrong thing. If it was a live trap then it may be legal. I do not know if they were trapping the animal as a nuisance or for the fur. Either way it was wrong. I would hate it if someone touched my traps. They are expensive to buy, expensive to treat, and they require a lot of time and patients to set up. I would have just covered the trap up to block the rain. That's all the animals do in the wild.

Depending on the animal they were trying to trap and the type of trap used it may need redying and waxing. This method is expensive to a fur dealer and takes a lot of time and hassle.

Trappers do not know when the animal is caught in the trap. Trappers check their traps daily. They do not want their animals to suffer.

I honestly think you did the wrong thing. If it were illegal then you did the right thing. I just don't know if it is legal or not.

zak i disagree he said it was a live trap in a residential area so im guessing it was a nuisance. so in a way he did a little bit of both right and wrong. just not totaly wrong.

Bw, what part of it do you disagree with?

Blaming him for being wrong thats what i disagree with, everyone will have their different opinoins. iv caught someone that threw a rock in my trap one time and broke the spring it was a kid my age, i said either he was goin to pay for it or somethin else will happen.....he paid for it.lol

Bwhunter501, when will you ever learn?

Either way, my bet is that the dumb thing was back in the trap within an hour of letting it go. [8D]
