When I trapped I used shorts more then longs or LR.
But I didn't use them a lot for dispatching trapped animals. I seldom found an animal alive in a trap.
I did use them on Coyote which I only trapped in late fall but not on anything else.
We don't have a lot of coyote up here. Not even close to the numbers I see down south.
What I used them for most was hunting squirrel and grouse.
I preferred LR or Hyper velocity LR rounds for Beaver hunting. But not trapping since I used drowning sets exclusively when targeting beaver. Mostly snares.
