Did you drop out of school just before they started teaching punctuation & sentence structure ? LoL

Seriously though, congrats on the dogs. But are the ones in the sled the ones you shot, or trapped/dispatched ?

Coyoteman, have you thought about using a breakaway device (BAD)? The snare will close all of the way but will release for a deer. I use a 280# Sullivan. It’s big enough to hold the biggest coyote and deer have no problem opening it.

For a person in possession of a trappers license I find it hard to fathom that you are unaware of a breakaway device.Deer stops work well for what they were intended for as well,to avoid catching deer by the legs.A deers foot is much smaller than a coyotes neck so set properly it should kill humanely.

I think the deer stops on the last batch,a little to big,snared for years straight on,although,we did use benders a small tree bent down trigger to release---probably before you were born------plan to keep up with present tech rgds
