Grouse, season start, and snares

[Jleclair]

Obviously you have not been to a vet and had a $500 bill lately

I’ve never had to go to a vet for a trapped dog, no injury happened. I did have two dogs go in this fall for barbed wire tears, one was $280.00, the other $200.00.
I suppose if you had a dog in a foothold trap that was jumping around and carrying on it could hurt itself, not sure about that though.

Heifer feeder calves can cost $130–$210, while heifers can cost $130–$165, you need to read up on a cows value.

RR, I think what you read was maybe the price per 100 pounds they weigh. They are crazy high priced currently. Goggle it again or talk to a rancher you know.

He didn't elaborate on his post so I think it is BS. Leghold traps are simple to remove, snares are tougher by far as they have a one way lock on them. If you didn't have cutters I could see that being a bad situation. Most responsible trappers don't set where dogs might be running, but there are a few idiots out there that ruin things for everyone.
