This one got in one of my bobcat traps...all of my bait was covered...not sure how it happened.  He was released, but I snapped a couple pictures first.

Haha...you knew where I was gonna go with that! 

Actually...I didn't have any problem at all...he was facing away from the trap stretched out like in the picture...

I slowly walked up behind him and kinda wiggled the chain a little to see if he was going to go crazy...he didn't...guess he figured I was either going to help him or kill him....he must have been ready for either.  I just pulled the springs back and dropped his foot out.  then walked off....  He wasn't there when I came back by.

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. They are one and the same...

Re-hydrate! It is an important step.

Actually...no  I even had the set covered and boxed in for bobcats.  It was about 15 inches under my stick box that I made....no feathers hanging or anything....I was using some lure rubbed on the back of the box....  Not sure what happened.
