Catch of the day

[Huntress]

A nice large male, a whole lot heavier than he looks. I'd say he weighs a good 30lbs and might I add, my first!

Nice one looks like a water head. You may want that one to be slightly frozen when skinning.

Good Job Deb!!

What kind of set up did you get him in?

[Huntress]

Hey Dube,

Whats a water head?


Ted, he was caught on a snared gutt pile. We snared their trails. We had one spot where they were trying to dig under the pile and put a snare there. He was caught by the neck in that snare, but in his fight to get away, he caught his back leg in a snare on the other side. So he was stretched out between the two. This one was insane, I did have to shoot him as I shot he moved and I got him in the neck. It was enough to paralyze him so that I could get a hold of him. Bummer that I had to shoot, but that's ok, I'm not getting bit!

when your critter dont die fast a fluid builds up under the skin. I bet his face and lips are plump. Happens when they get hung up in another snare or trap. Happens to all of us.

[Huntress]

Oh ok, edema? Thank you though that was a term I didn't know
