hello all, i gave up trapping 2 years ago after 40 years having fun..guess what happen to me today..

i was out scouting for deer here in pa..i had my camcorder along for pictures ..i was walking and saw a buck track in snow,so i thought i would get a picture..

i walked into brush about 10 ft when all of sudden i fell,my camera went flying..1500 dollar camera ,oh my..

so, i got up and thought,DANG LAURAL must have tripped me..when i looked at my boot ,i had cable around my foot..

i said, what the heck..it would not come off,on real tight..

it was a TRAP..i guess its thoose new ones they came out with..i tried pulling and could not remove it until i saw a little spring ,which i pushed,off it came..

of all dang things,it must have been put out before it snowed..

my camera was fine.. everytime i go out, i end up with story ,it seems..

As long as the cameras ok, nothing else matters.[8D]

Glad you managed to get loose. Your hide wouldnt have brought much anyway.

ole mountainman sproul,caught in trap..boy,that is something..i must be slipping,ha..

did you atleast reset it?

Reminds me of the joke where a guy tells his bud about the 2 most painful things that ever happened to him in his entire life. He stated theSECOND most painful thingwas when he went into the bushes to take a crap anda bear trap clamped down on his nuts. His bud says "well whatthe heck could be more painful than that". The guy responds "when the chain ran out".

Made me cringe!!!!!!!!!!

yes, i did reset it but dont know if i did it right?loop was about 15 inch dia..

I think for yotes it should be 8" x10" loop .You might have set it big enough for a bear or deer.I bought a dozen snares and started looking at how to use them. These things are new to me,I grow up on legholds.
